Well, Van Uytvanck has secured her spot in the Top 75 owing to a good stretch back in 2019. Her results have been suboptimal since. Moreover, she\u2019s just returned from a three-month layoff last week in Madrid. Her rival was none other than Schmiedlova, who defeated her 0-6 6-2 6-0. Usually those bizarre results linger in your memory for at least a week, so I\u2019m expecting the Slovakian to prevail.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Schmiedlova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"YmLLfSf4Q9pv2XAw2e1y6w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1230909434\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'YmLLfSf4Q9pv2XAw2e1y6w',sig:'LutuieH39nmcvTpAJ0pZ8BC6vXoI3DArWgOcQjf5yfI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1230909434',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Yafan Wang vs Harmony Tan<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head to head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Figuratively speaking, of course, but Wang is in the emergency room. The 27-year-old Chinese is 1-9 on the season and has not won a set against a Top 400 opponent since early February at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/australian-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Australian Open<\/a>. Her ranking has plummeted accordingly to No. 122. Contrarily, Tan might be playing the best tennis of her career. The Frenchwoman has accumulated six tour-level wins on clay this campaign, as well as a $60K title on hard. Look for the 23-year-old wild card to produce a scalp.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Tan in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"1k2BpeuTT9dqd-lnf-wQrg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1228789984\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'1k2BpeuTT9dqd-lnf-wQrg',sig:'BlP9eeFh9roWmbIBZmkeLF9m-cKEI5rO3hVeEKRC9b8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1228789984',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Clara Tauson vs Amandine Hesse<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2020\/12\/28\/clara-tauson-handling-expectations-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Tauson is a rising youngster<\/a> who really should be in main draws on her own by now.

Cornet, who is the No. 1 seed in Brittany, has dropped three consecutive matches, including the last two against youngsters Linda Fruhrvitova and Xiyu Wang. Meanwhile, Dodin\u2019s losing streak extends to four matches, including two versus foes outside the Top 200. This should be a very mental affair. I trust Cornet more on a slow clay court at sea level.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Cornet in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The journey to Roland Garros continues its course.
