Elina Svitolina vs Ana Bogdan preview
13th seed Elina Svitolina will face off against unseeded Ana Bogdan in the third round of the 2024 French Open on Saturday, June 1.
Svitolina has been in good form since returning to tennis after giving birth to her daughter Skai in October 2022. One of her standout performances this season was reaching the final of the ASB Classic in January, where she fell to Coco Gauff.
Svitolina entered Roland-Garros following a fourth-round appearance in Strasbourg and has shown good form thus far. She staged a comeback from a set down to defeat two-time Grand Slam semifinalist Karolina Pliskova in the first round, with the final scoreline reading 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. The Ukrainian then secured a 6-4, 7-6(3) win against Diane Parry, advancing to the third round of the Claycourt Major.
Meanwhile, Bogdan has also reached only one final this season at the Winners Open, where Karolina Pliskova defeated her. Her performances since then have not been up to the mark.
However, entering the French Open fresh from a second-round appearance at the Italian Open, Bogdan has showcased her prowess with convincing victories. The Romanian dominated Elsa Jacquemot with a commanding 6-1, 6-3 win and followed it up with a solid 6-4, 6-4 triumph against 20th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to advance to the third round.

Elina Svitolina vs Ana Bogdan prediction
The third-round match between Elina Svitolina and Ana Bogdan at the 2024 French Open promises to be thrilling, with the former being the clear favorite to win.
Svitolina's greatest strength is her versatile game; she seamlessly transitions between attack and defense and excels in long rallies on clay. Additionally, she has been remarkably consistent in her performances so far.
On the other hand, Bogdan's lack of consistency is a significant disadvantage. While she might put up a good fight against Svitolina if everything goes well, the Ukrainian will likely come out on top without much hassle.
Pick: Elina Svitolina to win in straight sets.
