Elina Svitolina

The Ukrainian athlete shows a solid tennis level in the current season, but without loud results, it was possible to win a modest tournament in Ruan. At the last tournament in Montreal Svitolin looked good, she seemed to fight for the title. Elina confidently reached the quarterfinals, beat the “neutral” of Rakhimov and Kalinsk, as well as Amanda’s strong American. An ex-first racket of Naomi Osaka, whose Ukrainian woman has given way to 2: 6, 2: 6, became an unpaved obstacle.

In the current season, Svitolina spent 21 matches on Hardy, winning 14 of them, the tennis player looks strong and stable, thanks to her experience, she is able to take key draws.

Barbora Krachikov

The Czech athlete does not need special presentation, she is a former friend of the world racket in a single discharge, the winner of two Grand Slam tournaments. Krachikov showed herself in a paired discharge, where she was the first racket of the world, won 7 sluts and became an Olympic champion.

The athlete only started the season in May, as she missed six months due to trauma, Barbora had problems with her back and thigh. Just two matches were played by an athlete on Hardy in 2025, one of them won, and in total she has 6 victories in 11 meetings. Cincinnat Krachikov began with a confrontation with American Alisha Parks – 6: 4, 4: 6, 6: 0.

The main question now is whether the athlete will be able to return to the former level or will focus on a paired discharge.

Personal meetings

The athletes played twice, both meetings were on the ground and ended with a victory of a Czech tennis player. The last battle took place at the Olympics, last year, then Krachikov won a heavy match – 7: 6, 2: 6, 6: 4.

Forecast

Despite the fact that in the eye confronts the advantage on the side of the Czech, the favorite in this match is rightly considered to be Svitolin. The Ukrainian is in the best shape, and Krachikov is only trying to return the former condition.

I do not think that the Czech will be able to show its maximum, I put on the victory of Elina with the foral -3.5 game. Betking Bookmaker estimates the likelihood of such a result with a factor of 1.70.
