Podla nas je tu totalne nezmyselny kurz. O Paquet sa pred RG nejak velmi nerozpravalo, lenze ona nema vobec zlu formu. Tyzden pred RG napr porazila Kenin, ktora tu odohrala vynikajuce prve kolo. Navyse mal vo vrecku finale z vyborne obsadeneho Saint Malo, kde porazila napr Stearns tak ze jej nadelila 60 v tretom sete a takmer porazila in form Boisson. Predtym uhrala semi v Belllinzone a Koperi. Co je vsak najdolezitejsie bolo jej prve kolo proti Shnaider, kde ako velka outsiderka vyhrala jasne 63 61. Nejde len o samotny vysledok, ale najma o to ze Paquet hrala vyborne a o to, ako fanaticky sa divaci spravali (samozrejme hralo sa na Simon Mathieu kurte), Paquet sa okamzite stala oblubenkynou a kedze proti Katke nepojdu na uplne najvacsie dvorce, ale opat na nejaky stredne velky, tak sa da predpokladat ze atmosfera bude podobna a to moze byt potencialny gamechanger. Za dalsie Katka a jej herny prejav je dlhodobo podpriemerny a rozhodne nezodpoveda hracke z top35. A ani jej prve kolo proti Galfi nebolo optimalne. Na papieri je tak vsetko nachystane na dalsie velke prekvapenie pre francuzsku trikoloru.
We believe the odds here are completely nonsensical. Paquet hasn't been talked about much before Roland Garros, but she is in good form. For instance, a week before RG, she defeated Kenin, who played an excellent first round here. Additionally, she reached the final in the well-attended Saint-Malo, where she defeated Stearns with a 6-0 score in the third set and almost beat the in-form Boisson. Before that, she made the semifinals in Bellinzona and Koper. Most importantly, in her first round against Shnaider, she won decisively 6-3, 6-1 as a big underdog. It's not just the result but also the way Paquet played excellently and how the fans behaved fanatically (the match was on the Simon Mathieu court). Paquet immediately became a crowd favorite, and since her match against Katka won't be on the largest courts but rather on a medium-sized one, we can expect a similar atmosphere, which could be a potential game-changer. Moreover, Katka's game has been consistently below average and doesn't match her top 35 ranking. Even her first-round match against Galfi wasn't optimal. On paper, everything is set for another big upset for
