French Open Day 2 Women’s Predictions<\/h2>\n

Arantxa Rus vs Camila Osorio<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nExpect plenty of brutal rallies between two great movers on clay who do not possess overwhelming firepower. A year ago, Rus was thriving and this match would have been challenging to call. The Dutchwoman\u2019s form has dipped significantly since, and Osorio is the favorite to triumph.
\nPrediction: Osorio in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Nurein:<\/em>
\nWhile Osorio’s favorite surface is clay, she hasn’t had much success at Roland Garros<\/a>. She has a chance to start changing that here and should be able to advance past this first round.
\nPrediction: Osorio in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Andreas:<\/em>
\nRus has traditionally struggled at Grand Slam tournaments, at one point losing 12 consecutive first-round matches. The World No. 94 will have to fight through long rallies, as Osorio is likely to grind from the baseline and force errors. Osorio is a tricky player to face on clay, and she should be the favorite.
\nPrediction: Osorio in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Caroline Dolehide vs Greet Minnen<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nDolehide will try to dominate the rallies with her forehand. On clay, Minnen has a better chance of coping with that. I feel Dolehide could be left frustrated during the rallies and end up making a damaging number of unforced errors.
\nPrediction: Minnen in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Nurein:<\/em>
\nIt’s a very unpredictable matchup. While Minnen won when they faced on hard court earlier this year, on clay Dolehide might well turn the tables on her.
\nPrediction: Dolehide in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Andreas:<\/em>
\nIncluding qualifying matches, Dolehide is 6-5 on clay this season, and has a heavy topspin game that works well on slower courts. Minnen has only played one match on clay in 2025, and the American should feel like the favorite due to her matchplay and experience. If Dolehide can serve well and avoid unforced errors, look for her to win comfortably.
\nPrediction: Dolehide in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
