Iga Swiatek vs Jaqueline Cristian Prediction

There are no spoilers here. This match is as lopsided as they come. Cristian, who has never been to the third round of the French Open before, gets to face the undisputed queen of the tournament in Iga. While the buildup to Roland Garros was hardly overwhelming, Swiatek is near unstoppable in Paris. If you are the Romanian’s fan, this match will be quick, but the positive is that it will most likely be painless. We are backing Swiatek in straight sets and laying the games.
