The first round of the French Open women’s singles continues on Monday, Day 2 of the event. There are 24 matches scheduled for the day, and–as always–we here at LastWordOnTennis will share our thoughts on all of them. We split the day’s matches between six articles. In addition to this article, our other five feature Coco Gauff vs Julia Adveeda<\/a>, Ons Jabeur vs Saschia Vickery<\/a>, Danielle Collins vs Caroline Dolehide<\/a>, Elina Svitolina vs Karolina Pliskova<\/a>, and Maria Sakkari vs Varvara Gracheva<\/a>. Predicting these matches are Jim Smith, Jordan Reynolds, and Glenys Furness.<\/p>\n

French Open Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Harriet Dart vs Linda Noskova<\/h4>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nLinda Noskova is one to watch at the French Open. The Czech has a bright future and, whilst she has not been at her best over the last few weeks, this is a relatively kind draw. Harriet Dart never lacks commitment, but she is not at her most effective on the clay.
\nPrediction: Noskova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nThere will be a lot of powerful hitting in this matchup. Noskova can struggle at times against opponents who rush her from the back of the court, giving the Briton a chance. Nonetheless. Dart probably is not comfortable enough on clay to beat Noskova over three sets.
\nPrediction: Noskova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Glenys:<\/em>
\nDart has been unlucky in early rounds with facing seeded players, but has fought hard trying to win some games or sets. Noskova has also lost early in the last few events she has taken place in. As much as it pains me to go against a Brit, Noskova will be too good for Dart here.
\nPrediction: Noskova in 2 <\/em><\/p>\n

Julia Riera vs Irina-Camelia Begu<\/h4>\n

Jim:<\/em>
\nIrina-Camelia Begu is an experienced campaigner and that should serve her well up against Julia Riera. There is not a huge amount between them on paper, but where Begu has twice been to the second week in Paris, Riera is making her Grand Slam debut.
\nPrediction: Begu in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nThis is a tough match to call. At her best, Begu is a slightly more imposing presence on clay, although she can be inconsistent. She is a very slight favourite to progress with the talent she possesses.
\nPrediction: Begu in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Glenys:<\/em>
\nRiera has been successful on the lower tiers, winning an ITF title in Germany earlier this month. Begu made the semi final at the same event. A definite neutrals match and will be well worth a watch. Riera came through qualifying so will be dangerous.
\nPrediction: Riera in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
