French Open Day 3 Predictions

Emma Navarro vs Erika Andreeva

Jack:
It feels a little early in the Erika Andreeva career to expect her to raise the bar her sister has set. The Russian is a little unpolished on the court, more so in the slow conditions of the French Open. Emma Navarro should be able to exploit this, having displayed great patience and rally temperament in Strasbourg last week.
Prediction: Navarro in 3

Jim:Andreeva’s charge through the qualifying was brought to a fairly decisive halt by Olga Danilovic, but the Russian secured a place in the main draw as a lucky loser. With nothing to lose, don’t be surprised to see her get the better of Navarro here–the American is hardly a clay-court heavyweight after all.
