Marion Bartoli will face the challenge of Petra Martic in round two of the WTA Paris OpenYou can watch and bet on Bartoli v Martic live for free at bet365 > live tennisMarion Bartoli is the second seed in this week’s WTA Paris Open, and playing in her home country she should be in with a real chance of winning this week’s event. Bartoli should be able to thrive in the draw that she’s been given, and she’s proven time and time again that she can prosper in tournaments like this one.
As one of the most consistent players on the tour, Bartoli is currently ranked seventh in the world, and this was enough to earn her a bye to round two. She will begin her campaign here in Paris with a second round clash against Croatia’s Petra Martic, who defeated Hungarian veteran Greta Arn 6-4, 6-4 in round one.
Martic is a talented young player, with the height and ability to be a tough opponent. Having just turned 21, she’ll have big ambitions for this season. Still, Bartoli is unlikely to let her get a foothold in this match, and it seems fair to predict that the home favourite will win this contest in straight sets.
