 What's going on everybody welcome back to another video and we continue our series of the road to the title to the French Open title for 2021 and we're gonna be having a look at Egas Fiontex road to the title and the players that she's probably gonna have to beat If she is gonna win her back-to-back French Open trophies, of course, she's the defending champion currently world number nine Let's go have a look at her road to victory All right, so our first-round opponent is gonna be against Juvan an opponent She actually played earlier in the year and beat in three tight sets So her first-round opponent might not be as easy as it seems but you'd expect this Fiontex will win that matchup Her second-round opponent is likely to be Shelby Rogers And Fiontex has a 1-0 head-to-head record against her as well and that match being on a hard court So you'd expect that on a clay court Fiontex should be able to beat Rogers heading into the third round Fiontex is most likely gonna play the 30th seed Contivate and interestingly enough Contivate actually has a winning record over Fiontex 2-0 So they played the twice and Fiontex has not beaten her yet So it's not going to be an easy match in her third round if she does play against the 30th seed But these two have never played on clay so you would expect Fiontex on clay should be able to get over the 30th seed Contivate heading into the fourth round now and the number 12 seed awaits Gabinia Muga-Ruta is gonna be the 12th seed and is the probably the most likely player that Fiontex will have to face Interestingly enough 1-0 is the head-to-head and it's in favor of Muga-Ruta with these two playing in Dubai earlier this year And Muga-Ruta serving up a bagel So that is not going to be an easy match for Fiontex The other scenario would be that she plays against the 20 second seed Martich who she has never played before so you would expect that on the clay courts Fiontex should be able to beat Martich and if Fiontex could have her choice She would definitely not want to pick Muga-Ruta Especially the way that Muga-Ruta beat her only a couple of months ago heading into the quarter finals now And the two players that she is most likely to place Fiontex in those quarter finals It might be a replay of the final the French Open last year Sofia Kenan the fourth seed is awaiting in that quarter final with these two only playing the one time before being that French Open final Back in 2020 so Sveontek would like her chances against Kenan And the other scenario would be that she plays against at least Mertens an opponent She has never played before so again You would expect when she's never played someone's fiontex She should be able to beat them on the clay courts Especially the way she was beating opponents last year who she had never faced heading into the semi-finals now And the most likely opponents there's two of them the world number one Ash Barty These two have played only the one time and that was actually a few weeks ago with Barty getting the win But Sveontek did have a lead on Barty in the first set So maybe if she can capitalize on that lead She can turn the tables at the semi-finals and the other player is the number five speeds Fetalina Who she has only played the one time before which was actually back in Rome a couple of weeks ago and Sveontek got the win So if Sveontek could have her choice She would definitely rather place Fetalina But if she does have to play Barty which I think a lot of us are projecting to happen She can definitely get the win heading into the final now as Fiontex makes it all the way to the final There's two opponents that stand out with Sabalenka being the most obvious one the world number four the third seed of this event She actually never played Sabalenka before so it would be a very interesting matchup because remember Sabalenka has never made it to a Grand slam final and Sveontek does have a French open to her name So based on experience even though they're both young you would expect it Fiontex should beat Sabalenka in that big final and the other opponent that she might face is the number two seed Naomi Osaka now we know Osaka is not a great clay court player But if she does get all the way to the final Osaka does have a leading head-to-head record against Fiontex 1-0 That match was two years ago on a hard court though, and we're playing on clay this week So Sveontek I would expect would be the favorite against Osaka So there it is the road to victory for Egas Fiontex to back up her 2020 French open title Can she go back to back? Let me know down in the comments below Who's her toughest opponent and how far is she gonna go in this tournament? I think Barty is her toughest opponent I think if she gets through the semi-finals the final is there for the taking for Sveontek So the defending champion she's got a pretty tough road to the final But if she can get through that semi she might be able to back it up
