Sabalenka vs Brengle Preview
Aryna Sabalenka had a remarkable season in which she advanced to the semifinals of two Grand Slam tournaments. However, she has not been able to back up those results with consistent performance this year. The introduction of the clay swing, on the other hand, helped her perform better, as evidenced by the fact that she reached the final in Stuttgart and the semifinals in Rome.
Sabalenka, however, reverted to her previously struggling self during the first round of Roland Garros on Tuesday, putting herself in a position where she was dangerously close to being eliminated from the competition. Her campaign was in danger of being cut short due to an excessive number of unforced errors, and she quickly fell behind Chloe Paquet, who is ranked 101st in the world, a set and a breakdown.
In the first-round match against Paquet, Sabalenka battled back from being down a set to eventually emerge victorious (2-6 6-3 6-4). Sabalenka finished the match with 90 points, while Paquet finished with 83 points. The Belarusian was very aggressive throughout the match, resulting in 42 winners.
Madison Brengle, who Sabalenka will face in the next round, had a career-best performance at a Grand Slam tournament in 2015 when she advanced to the fourth round at the Australian Open. Additionally, it catapulted her to a career-high ranking of 35 in the same year as the accomplishment. The American player has never advanced past the second round of play at the French Open.
The American had a successful match against Buzarnescu in the first round, winning in straight sets (6-1 6-2). Brengle finished the game with 67 points, while Buzarnescu finished with 46 points. Madison’s level of aggression was through the roof as she blasted 22 winners.

Sabalenka vs Brengle Prediction:
Sabalenka has lost 4 clay court matches in 2022, all to No. 1 Iga Swiatek and No. 28 Amanda Anisimova. While she’s struggled at Roland-Garros in the past, she’s in her best clay-court form.
Sabalenka won both previous meetings, but that won’t affect the handicap. This match is different because of Brengle’s recent play. She’s dethroned women outside the top 100, but Cori Gauff beat her in straights in Rome on May 11.
Sabalenka must reduce her double faults and calm down. Brengle won’t stand a chance if she brings her power game from the start and avoids errors.
Sabalenka vs Brengle Prediction: Aryna Sabalenka will win in straight sets.
