Azarenka vs Andreescu Head-to-Head

Victoria Azarenka and Bianca Andreescu have not played each other on the WTA scene. So this first-round match at the 2023 French Open will be their first official meeting.

Azarenka vs Andreescu Prediction

As far as marquee first-round matches go at this year’s French Open, this one between Victoria Azarenka and Bianca Andreescu is right on top of the pile. It’s a colossal matchup between former Grand Slam champions and fascinatingly it’s their first career collision. Azarenka has enjoyed a great season up to this point, reaching her first semifinal at the Australian Open since 2013 in January this year and has established her top-20 presence. Andreescu, meanwhile, looked to have turned a corner by reaching the fourth round of the Miami Open until an unfortunate ankle roll halted her momentum. She hasn’t been the same player since being wheeled away in Florida, losing her next two matches including a 6-0, 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Marketa Vondrousova in Rome. And with Azarenka playing such a fast-paced game, Andreescu might not have time to adjust or settle here.
