Burel vs Sorribes Tormo Prediction

Clara Burel enters this year’s French Open with a wild card. She’ll be keen to impress in front of the home fans. Burel memorably made the third round in 2020 when the event was held in autumn, notching wins over Arantxa Rus and Kaja Juvan. She’ll have a difficult opener against the Spanish clay-court specialist Sara Sorribes Tormo. The Spaniard missed the first quarter of the season with injury and is currently outside the top 100 and only enters the French Open with a protected ranking. She’s managed to hit her stride of late reaching the W100 ITF final in Madrid and only losing to an in-form Olga Danilovic. Still, Burel cannot be counted out entirely even at +198 odds. The Frenchwoman had an even better run in Strasbourg this past week knocking out the likes of Sorana Cirstea and Bernarda Pera and losing to eventual winner Elina Svitolina. Picking against French players is sometimes not wise at Roland Garros, and so the +198 on Burel looks extremely tempting here.
