The wind is blowing in Paris. The fourth-round matches are always exciting. The best 16 of 128 players who started the tournament are left. World no. Aryna Sabalenka , world no. 2, and one of the favorites for the title is more than eager to reach glory. Sloane Stephens , an American, stands in her way. She is also trying to revive her promising career. It won’t be easy for either but Stephens will have a tougher time as Sabalenka is in the best shape of her career.

Aryna Sabalalenka and Sloane Stephens : Preview
Aryan Sabalenka began the year with a bang by winning the Australian Open. She’d love to go 2/2 this season in Grand Slams. She should be aware that Grand Slams can be funny and that a difficult match could just around the corner. The recent win in Madrid will boost her confidence and allow her to beat her opponent in the fourth round. Sabalenka has not dropped a set in her three first rounds and has easily beaten her opponents.
Sloane Stephens is no stranger to Paris. She has been in the finals on this court before. But 2023 hasn’t been kind to Stephens. Her only tournament victory came at a 125k-level event. She has also struggled miserably on the court. Stephens, who was unable to compete in the Australian Open because of health issues, would love to make her point at Paris. She has been at her best again after losing just one set. Her challenge is to remain injury-free. Sabalenka can face a difficult challenge if she is able to stay injury-free.
Sabalenka has won both of their previous meetings. Both matches were highly competitive 3-set contests. Stephens can take confidence from the fact that she gave Sabalenka a good run for her money. Can she pull it off in Paris?
Aryna Sabala and Sloane Stephens – Prediction
Aryna is a very difficult bet to beat in 2023. She is a favourite in all events she competes because of her remarkable consistency. She has a better head-to-head track record than Stephens. Stephens, who has made this final before, should be confident that she can win. On form alone, I’m backing the Belarusian in straight sets.
Prediction for the match: Aryna Sabadena to win in straight set
