We got this one right. Katerina Siniakova was our 66% pick, and won 6-4 7-6.

Tuesday's French Open first round pits Katerina Siniakova against Simona Waltert on clay. Katerina Siniakova has won 5 of the last 10. Simona Waltert limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.

Katerina Siniakova has had the better of this rivalry, winning 1 of 1 against Simona Waltert. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Siniakova — worth more than the overall number this week.

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Siniakova should have enough here, though Waltert has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
