🔍 Match Breakdown
Fruhvirtova has momentum and court rhythm on her side after two matches already in Rouen. Her ability to redirect pace and construct points makes her dangerous on clay, and her win in their only prior meeting gives her a mental edge.
Blinkova enters as the more seasoned player but lacks clay success this season. Her baseline consistency could keep her in rallies, but unless she adjusts quickly to the court pace, Fruhvirtova’s versatility may prove too much.
🔮 Prediction
Pick: Linda Fruhvirtova to win in straight sets
Youthful confidence, recent form, and clay adaptability favor the Czech teen in this one.
