Over Stearns...+212

There's a really good vibe here," Boisson said.

"Being back on the circuit, at a tournament, I feel it's giving me something I haven't had for a while. It's also helping me to continue with this process of healing."

Boisson opens her debut campaign in the Spanish capital with a round-of-128 meeting with American 43rd-ranked player Peyton Stearns.

"I don't have any particular expectations," she said. "Obviously, I'm going out on court to win, to give it my all.

"But above all, I'll be absolutely delighted just to be out on court playing tennis and playing without any pain."

Oddsmakers aren't giving her much of chance...

Good luck, but I think Stearns takes her here....Over might be a good play

Only worry here is she hasn't played since September and I can see her being real rusty.  Rooting for her to make another run at RG.  Her arms look smaller tho she was shredded last season but injuries will do that

Never take a player with this long a layoff especially against a player in pretty good form. 

Not just a layoff she said she was ready but clearly she's not ready she's getting blasted she was nowhere near ready that was a bad read I gave her more credit than she was worth I have to keep adjusting live bets to make amends although I did make a good pic with Palvy

What do you expect her to say. Even if she had no layoff Stearns although flaky at times isn’t a gimme. Even Nadal had problems after a long layoff.
