French Open Day 9 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Sloane Stephens vs Barbora Krejcikova<\/h4>\n

Steen:<\/em>
\nA strong match up of in-form players, Stephens reached the semis of her last tournament and has been strong through three matches. Krejcikova has won eight matches in a row and looks hopeful to make it nine. This should be a quality match.
\nPrediction: Krejcikova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nIt seems like no matter how her year\u2019s going, Stephens can always bring her best to Paris. The American made her seventh second week here, but will not have an easy time against Krejcikova, who repeated her feat from last year. The Czech is sky-high on confidence at the moment, following a title run at Strasbourg last week. Even if Stephens will be on top of her counterpunching game, this is by no means an easy opponent. Krejcikova is much more steady too.
\nPrediction: Krejcikova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh:<\/em>
\nSloane Stephens is a former US Open champion and runner-up in Paris. She hasn’t found that form since, but has been getting better and better each match in Paris. Krejcikova, meanwhile, has somewhat quietly become one of the better players on Tour on clay. It’s not quiet anymore after her run here, and this should be a blockbuster match between these two.
\nPrediction: Stephens in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
