We’re reaching the business stages of the 2021 French Open and as we go deeper, the games are going to get more intense. One such game we have here is in the women’s tournament where two top seeds are pitted against each other on 7th June 2021 in a vital Round 4 game here at Paris, France. The winner will go straight into the quarter final of the women’s event at the 2021 Roland Garros.
One of the players in question here is America’s Sofia Kenin who may be only 22 years old but she’s already got one Grand Slam title under her belt and she’s good on clay too, finishing as runner-up in the 2021 French Open where she lost to Iga Swiatek in the final. This year, the #4 seed will be waiting to go one step ahead and claim the title but she has one major roadblock here in Greek player, Maria Sakkari.
Sakkari now 25 years old first made a Grand Slam appearance in 2015 and has never made it past Round 4, so it’ll be her first quarter final appearance if she gets through. With injury talks and an appendix issue earlier this year, Kenin is an underdog for this fixture at odds of 2.44 with BetWinner and she’s actually good value here as compared to the favourite Sakkar, who is at pre-match odds of 1.58!
2021 French Open so far
In her three games so far, Kenin has lost 2 sets. She lost one against an unseeded opponent in Round 1 and then against the #28 seed Jessica Pegula in Round 3. She’s brushed off injury concerns but isn’t looking at her best. Regardless of who wins here, one thing we know for sure is that this game is likely to go into three sets, so engage in that sports betting market on BetWinner.

Sakkari had two straight sets victories in her first couple of matches against unseeded opponents but then, the #17 seed beat a higher seed #14 Elise Mertens in three sets most recently. Among the two players, only Sakkari has played a tie-break and she ended up losing that tie break as well. We recommend a bet in Kenin winning 2-1 at odds of 5.50 on BetWinner.
Sofia Kenin vs Mari Sakkari head to head
These two players have faced off thrice in the past and Sofia Kenin leads these encounters, 2-1. They first met in 2018 at the Wimbledon and Kenin won in 3 sets, and they met again the same year in the US Open where Kenin won again in 3 sets. In their most recent encounter in Abu Dhabi earlier this year, Sakkari beat Kenin in three sets and the former will fancy her chances here again!
