2nd-seed Aryna Sabalenka’s second-round match is against Iryna Shymanovich on Wednesday (May 31) in the French Open.
Sabalenka knocked out Marta Kostyuk 6-3, 6-2 in the first round. She entered the French Open after a second-round loss to Sofia Kenin in the Italian Open. She has been remarkable this season, having won Adelaide International 1, Australian Open, and the Madrid Open and featured in two more finals, in Indian Wells and Stuttgart Open.
Shymanovich on the other hand is playing in the clay Grand Slam after a second-round defeat to Greet Minnen in ITF Slovakia. The 25-year-old has featured in one final, in ITF Spain. Also Read: Iga Swiatek vs Cristina Bucsa Match prediction, head-to-head, preview, and live stream | French Open

Aryna Sabalenka vs Iryna Shymanovich prediction
Sabalenka is having a remarkable season this year and is already 30-5 with three titles. She is one of the favourites to win the French Open apart from Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina. At the same time, this is the only Grand Slam where Sabalenka has not able to make it past round three. But against Shymanovich, one can expect only an easy win as Sabalenka has much more experience and consistency.
Prediction: Sabalenka in straight sets.
