Swiatek vs Bucsa Prediction

We have the top seed and tournament favorite Iga Swiatek opening up her 2023 French Open campaign against Spanish clay courter Cristina Bucsa. Swiatek is happy with the progress and recovery from the thigh injury she picked up in Rome adding that she’s had more time to recover and doesn’t expect it to be an issue in her first match here. Now that she’s cleared the air as far as the injury is concerned she’ll look for a strong performance against Bucsa just like the one she dished out in Melbourne. Her No. 1 ranking is very much on the line with Sabalenka less than 2000 points behind her. So the Pole cannot afford to take her eyes off the ball.
