Paris Olympics Day 2 Women’s Doubles Predictions<\/h2>\n

Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribes Tormo (Spain) vs Lucia Bronzetti and Elisabetta Cocciaretto (Italy)<\/h4>\n

Yesh<\/em>
\nThis should be a fun one. All four women like clay and all are fine with doubles. I think the Italians\u2019 games complement each other just a little bit better, but this should be close.
\nPrediction: Bronzetti and Cocciaretto in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/em>
\nNeither of the Italian players have been to the third-round of a Grand Slam in doubles. By contrast, Sorribes Tormo and Bucsa have both been to at least a quarterfinal at that level. The Spaniards are more likely to gel effectively as a pair with their tactical awareness in doubles.
\nPrediction: Bucsa\/Sorribes Tormo in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Magda Linette and Alicja Rosolska (Poland) vs Dayana Yastremska and Marta Kostyuk (Ukraine)<\/h4>\n

Yesh<\/em>
\nThis battle will come down to matchups. Yastremska and Linette can keep up with each other power for power, but Kostyuk has more experience and talent than Rosoklska.
\nPrediction: Yastremska and Kostyuk in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/em>
\nAll the players have pretty similar track records in women\u2019s doubles throughout their careers. It is tough to pick a winning pair, but I will go with the Ukrainians. At their best, I feel Kostyuk and Yastremska are capable of more complete tennis.
\nPrediction: Yastremska\/Kostyuk in 10-point tiebreak<\/em><\/p>\n

Shuko Aoyana and Ena Shibahara (Japan) vs Ana Bogdan and Jaqueline Cristian (Romania)<\/h4>\n

Yesh<\/em>
\nThis will be a rough match for the Romanians, running into one of true doubles pairs in the draw. The Japanese women aren\u2019t quite in the Top 10 anymore, but they\u2019re still very good.
\nPrediction: Aoyana and Shibahara in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/em>
\nBogdan and Cristian are better singles players, but the Japanese pair have better doubles records. I don\u2019t think Bogdan or Cristian have games that are very natural for doubles either. Aoyama and Shibahara to progress in straight sets.
\nPrediction: Aoyama Shibahara in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Caroline Garcia and Diane Parry (France) vs Arantxa Rus and Demi Schuurs (Netherlands)<\/h4>\n

Yesh<\/em>
\nUnfortunately for the home fans, the two Frenchwomen here aren\u2019t nearly as comfortable on the doubles court as on the singles. The Dutchwomen, meanwhile, both love doubles. That\u2019s a rough combination.
\nPrediction: Rus and Schuurs in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan<\/em>
\nGarcia and Parry could be dark horses in the doubles draw. Each are good servers and volleyers, and are capable of putting pressure on their opponents with that style. Garcia also won the French Open doubles title in 2016 and 2022. I expect them to make a good start against the Dutch pair.
\nPrediction: Garcia\/Parry in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
