Sabalenka is among the favourites for the champion after a great start to the year, consisting of protecting her maiden Grand Slam victory in Melbourne and raising the Madrid Open title. “Every competition is a various competition, Roland Garros is entirely various to Australia, a various surface area,” she stated. “It’s actually excellent to have a Grand Slam in your pocket– it offers you a lot self-confidence.” Sabalenka will deal with either previous United States Open champ Sloane Stephens or Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva in the 4th round.
