Svitolina Arrives In Top Form
Elina Svitolina arrives in Paris after a successful campaign in Rome, where she lifted the title by defeating three top-three players in consecutive matches, all in three sets. With that triumph, she extended her perfect record in tour-level clay finals to an impressive 8-0.
The Ukrainian has continued her excellent form throughout 2026. She has played nine tournaments this season and reached at least the semifinals in six of them, including title runs in Auckland and Rome that helped stabilize her place inside the top 10 rankings.
This marks an incredible turnaround for the 31-year-old, who ended her 2024 season early after the US Open following a difficult stretch where she failed to win a tour-level match after Montreal.
Svitolina has made 12 main-draw appearances at French Open and has never lost in the opening round in Paris. She has also reached five quarterfinals at the event, including last year.

Bondar Continues Clay Improvement
Anna Bondar struggled for consistency during the opening months of the season. Apart from a quarterfinal run in Hobart, her other seven tournaments in the first three months all ended in or before the second round.
However, the Hungarian significantly improved her level once the clay season began. She has played five clay-court events this year and, aside from an opening-round defeat in Rome, managed to win at least two matches in the other four tournaments, including a fourth-round appearance in Madrid.
Bondar now owns a 5-8 career record in Grand Slam opening-round matches. On clay, her record at this stage stands at 1-2.

Verdict
Anna Bondar dominated this matchup in Madrid last month, but Elina Svitolina arrives in much stronger overall form this time. The Ukrainian should be motivated for revenge and is favored to win, though Bondar could still offer some resistance again.
