Predicting today&#8217;s matches are Jack Edward, Andreas Pelekis, and Jordan Reynolds.<\/p>\n<h2>French Open Day Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Liudmila Samsonova vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nWhen Samsonova\u2019s on, she\u2019s on. The level so far has been mind-boggling and, though Cocciaretto can normally put plenty of balls in the court, the Russian won\u2019t have many problems finishing the point off in two swings of the racket.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Samsonova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Andreas:<\/em><br \/>\nSamsonova is quietly playing amazing tennis this tournament, most recently dismantling Amanada Anisimova 6-2 6-1. With only five games lost all tournament, she should be the favorite against Cocciarreto, who\u2019s spent far more time on court. Cocciarreto stunned Beatriz Haadad Maia in the first round, but lacks speed on her groundstrokes compared to the big hitting Samsonova.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Samsonova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nCocciaretto claimed very impressive victories against Beatriz Haddad Maia and Cristina Bucsa in the previous two rounds. However, this is a very different matchup against a player who hits the ball a lot harder than her previous two opponents. Cocciaretto likes time on her shots and Samsonova not giving her that will probably make the difference.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Samsonova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170472&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Leylah Fernandez vs Ons Jabeur<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nAn interesting match-up that promises plenty of fascinating rallies. Though it might be close, Jabeur feels like the slight favorite as her tricky game might unstick the usual counter-punching game style of the Canadian.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Jabeur in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Andreas:<\/em><br \/>\nJabeur has had a tough 2024 season, but this tournament has been a solid campaign for the Tunisian. She\u2019ll also come into this match with confidence, after taking out Fernandez earlier this year in Madrid; she battled back from a break down in the third set. Fernandez is yet to drop a set in this tournament, but has seemed to struggle against Top 30 players ever since the Middle Eastern swing this season. The Canadian could win if she plays solid and consistent tennis, but Jabeur is ultimately the favorite.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Jabeur in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nThese two played a few weeks ago on clay. Jabeur won that match in three sets and her variety is not a style that suits Fernandez well. The three-time Grand Slam champion is still not at her best level but I think she will get another victory in Paris.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Jabeur in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"nJNw3gXERiNuNxvKtb5yrw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2155176522\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" 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:'nJNw3gXERiNuNxvKtb5yrw',sig:'YwE3a2NIhg7NoCz15VPFBGTczDhvmnLfYD3DbwbJfeA=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2155176522',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Anastasia Potapova vs Xinyu Wang<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nWang\u2019s had some tough matches against players that haven\u2019t been in the best of form whilst Potapova\u2019s taken care of business tidily. Like her previous opponents, Potapova\u2019s huge hitting should be too much for the Chinese.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Potapova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170476&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Andreas:<\/em><br \/>\nPotapova is overdue for a big run at a Grand Slam, and this year\u2019s French Open may be a great opportunity for her. She\u2019s yet to drop a set, while Wang had to battle through consecutive three-set matches against lower ranked opponents. Potapova will have to play consistent tennis and manage her nerves, a win on Friday would see her reach the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Potapova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nPotapova\u2019s level in the first two rounds was better than Wang\u2019s. She demolished her opponents easily in straight sets, while Wang fought through both of her matches in three sets. While overcoming those tight battles is admirable, I doubt Wang can handle Potapova\u2019s best tennis on clay.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Potapova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"XoHjaDmCTI5VbhqA-cOKfA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2154846389\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" 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:'XoHjaDmCTI5VbhqA-cOKfA',sig:'-pTJmGVhT0sluHUwknNrXC_5lN936eTiQYfbYnCniXY=',w:'594px',h:'412px',items:'2154846389',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Coco Gauff vs Dayana Yastremska<\/h4>\n<p><em>Jack:<\/em><br \/>\nThis is a decent match-up for Gauff on clay with Yastremska unable to bludgeon her way passed the American. Gauff has looked solid so far this tournament so we trust her to get the job done fairly quickly.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Gauff in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Andreas:<\/em><br \/>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/french-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">French Open<\/a> has always been one of Gauff\u2019s best tournaments, and this feels like a good draw for the American to continue doing some damage. She plays well against big hitters when she can control her forehand and thrive with her movement. As long as Gauff serves well, she should cruise into the next round. Yastremska\u2019s impressive groundstrokes, while powerful, are simply not consistent enough in big moments.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Gauff in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;180848&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Jordan:<\/em><br \/>\nThis is a dangerous third round for Gauff. Yastremska\u2019s powerful game is very difficult to handle  when she finds her range and becomes inspired. Yet, the Ukrainian has mostly struggled for form since her run to the Australian Open semifinal. Yastremska could make this an epic match if she finds her best level, but it is difficult to trust her enough to do that.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Gauff in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Susan Mullane-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third round of the women&#8217;s singles at the French Open begins on Day 6.
