Bianca Andreescu vs Lesia Tsurenko – Match Predictions
Contents
Lesia Tsurenko to Win
There is no denying Andreescu’s talent, as evidenced by her victories against Viktoria Azarenka and Emma Navarro. She saw her serve broken five times in this period and will be gunning to give a better account of her abilities against her Ukrainian rival. However, Tsurenko’s consistent performances and positive record on clay make her a formidable opponent for Andreescu in their upcoming clash. She impressed in her straight sets win over Barbora Krejcikova but concerns appeared in her win over Lauren Davis, where she profited from the American’s physical struggles. Given her two victories over Andreescu in a similar fashion, she gets the nod for triumphing in this round three battle.
Under 21.5 Games
Given their respective current form, there is a strong possibility that the total number of games played will fall under 21.5. Andreescu displayed her dominance in the first round, dispatching Azarenka in 27 games with a score of 6-2, 3-6 and 6-4. Against Navarro, she was in more control, triumphing 6-1 and 6-4. Tsurenko, on the other hand, made little work of Krejcikova in a 6-2 and 6-4 humbling. Davis did break her thrice but lost the first set 6-3 and eventually withdrew after losing her service in the first game. When they have had the upper hand, the matches have seen efficient victories, suggesting a potentially short and intense match, with a limited number of games expected.
Bianca Andreescu vs Lesia Tsurenko Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the French Open.
Bianca Andreescu
The Canadian has had a somewhat inconsistent performance in 2023. Apart from her fourth-round exit in the Miami Masters, Andreescu has faced challenges in achieving notable success throughout the current campaign. She currently holds a 2-2 record on the clay court swing of the WTA tour, with both of her victories coming in the earlier rounds of the French Open. She showcased her ability to perform well on the red surface during her wins over Azarenka and Navarro, but her first-round exits in both the Italian Open and Madrid Masters indicate she does not have the rhythm to be at her best.
Lesia Tsurenko
Lesia Tsurenko has showcased impressive form on clay courts leading up to her third-round meeting with Bianca Andreescu in the French Open. With a positive record of 7-3 on this surface, Tsurenko has displayed her adaptability and skill. Her clay court campaign began at the Charleston Open, where she was unlucky to get eventual champion Ons Jabeur in the second round. In the Madrid Masters, Tsurenko advanced to the round of 16 before her journey was halted by Daria Kasatkina, while it was world number 1, Iga Swiatek who ended her Italian Open ambitions at the same stage.
