In addition to this article we have four others–featuring Aryna Sabalenka vs Chloe Paquet<\/a>, Karolina Pliskova vs Tessah Andrianjafitrimo<\/a>, Paula Badosa vs Fiona Ferro<\/a>, and Danielle Collins vs Viktoriya Tomova<\/a>. Predicting these matches are Fraser Learmonth, Damian Kust, and Jim Smith. Who do you think will win?<\/p>\n

French Open Day 3 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Alize Cornet vs Misaki Doi<\/h4>\n

Fraser:<\/em>
\nAlize Cornet fell off the face of the earth after reaching her first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal<\/a> in Australia at the beginning of the year. Fortunately for her, Doi has been equally unimpressive this year. The Japanese has also only played two matches on clay this year and doesn\u2019t like the surface. This is a good opportunity for Cornet to rediscover some form.
\nPrediction: Cornet in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nMisaki Doi beat Alize Cornet on clay six years ago, but the Japanese generally doesn’t do that well on this surface and only lost in Madrid and Rome qualifying this year. Alize Cornet didn\u2019t win a match in these events either, but you can\u2019t really blame her for losing to Simona Halep and she came very close to taking out Varvara Gracheva. In front of the home crowd, the veteran Frenchwoman shouldn\u2019t lose this.
\nPrediction: Cornet in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nAlize Cornet tends to save her best for the big occasion, particularly when she is playing on home turf. She has not been in particularly impressive form leading into the French Open<\/a>, but she has at least won a handful of matches and her game is generally well-suited to the clay. Misaki Doi, in contrast, has lost four on the bounce.
\nPrediction: Cornet in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
