Duque-Marino - Jakupovic

Australas was supposed to arrive from Taiwan to France in 4 days and then switch from hard court to clay. Duckworth is not a great clay court player, and the local Frenchman may not be the strongest opponent, but under these circumstances I think it will be enough. Janvier knows how to play on clay and I believe he will have an advantage here.

I think grabbing a 50/50 match and such a coefficient is worth it in any circumstances. Although Kanepi is no longer the player she used to be, she knows how to play on clay courts, and this is an opportunity for young players to learn some lessons, which she did not have the chance to play on this season. Of course, there are nuances, as we do not know what to expect from Kanepi and her current condition, but if she participates, she will try to do something and I am taking a chance on this coefficient, considering her experience and physical fitness, we can expect her to fight properly.
