Prediction: Fernandez in 3Diane Parry vs Emma RaducanuHead-to-head: Raducanu 1-0 ParryRaducanu is playing her first match since Indian Wells, so she is highly unlikely to be anywhere near her best at this point.
Given that, she was definitely not lucky at all with this first round draw, with Parry very high on confidence after her run to the title in the Paris challenger last week.
Riding that wave of confidence, she might well get another big win here.

This week’s WTA event in Strasbourg doesn’t exactly feature a star-studded field, as expected from an event played the week right before the French Open, but it still has a very decent field all things considered, with several looking to fine tune their game and find their best form ahead of the second Slam of the year, as well as maybe seize a rare opportunity to win a title at WTA level.
WTA Strasbourg Day 2 Predictions
Ann Li vs Ekaterina Alexandrova
Head-to-head: Alexandrova 2-0 Li
This is a rare matchup between two Top 30 players at an early round of an event like this, but it is certain to be an extremely interesting one. Li certainly has her chances here, but Alexandrova is the better and more consistent player of the two overall and she has won all four sets played in this matchup to date, so she definitely comes in as the favorite.
Prediction: Alexandrova in 2
Magdalena Frech vs Leylah Fernandez
Head-to-head: first meeting
Despite looking far from repeating her US Open 2021 exploits, Fernandez has finally managed to establish herself as a solid Top 30 player in the world and will be looking to continue going up the rankings. Weeks like this are a great opportunity to get some points and maybe even gain some important momentum ahead of the French Open, and she should be able to at least get through this match.
Prediction: Fernandez in 3
Diane Parry vs Emma Raducanu
Head-to-head: Raducanu 1-0 Parry
Raducanu is playing her first match since Indian Wells, so she is highly unlikely to be anywhere near her best at this point. Given that, she was definitely not lucky at all with this first round draw, with Parry very high on confidence after her run to the title in the Paris challenger last week. Riding that wave of confidence, she might well get another big win here.
