Marta Kostyuk vs Aryna Sabalenka – Match Predictions
Contents
2-0 to Aryna Sabalenka
In this anticipated duel, Aryna Sabalenka is poised to continue her exceptional form and secure a convincing victory over Marta Kostyuk. With a stellar season under her belt, including the Australian Open title and a clay-court triumph in Madrid, Sabalenka arrives in Paris in top-notch shape. On the other hand, Kostyuk has struggled for consistency recently, winning only two matches in her last four tournaments and suffering early exits at Madrid and Rome. Given Sabalenka’s remarkable run and Kostyuk’s inconsistency, it’s highly likely that the Belarusian will emerge victorious with a comprehensive 2-0 win in this encounter.
Under 19.5 Games
Sabalenka enters the match in exceptional form, with an impressive season win-loss record of 29-5. Her outstanding performances on the court make her one of the favourites at Roland Garros. In contrast, Kostyuk has struggled with inconsistency, winning only two matches in her last four tournaments and has been inactive on the clay court swing of the WTA tour. Paulo Badosa needed only 18 games to defeat, one more than what Sabalenka required in their Dubai duel last year. For those seeking value for money, a smart bet would be to predict under 19.5 games in this match, while the more daring bettors might consider the riskier option of under 18.5 games.

Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the French Open.
Marta Kostyuk
Kostyuk had a promising start to the season, claiming her maiden career title in Austin and reaching the quarterfinals in Adelaide and Hua Hin. While her past performances on Parisian clay have been less successful, she achieved her best Grand Slam result at the French Open in 2021, reaching the fourth round. Kostyuk has shown resilience by advancing past the first round in her last three majors, including a run to the last-32 in Melbourne earlier this year.
Aryna Sabalenka
Sabalenka has been in sensational form this season, boasting an impressive win-loss record of 29-5. She has already clinched her maiden Grand Slam title in Melbourne and secured a second clay-court title in Madrid, highlighting her versatility on different surfaces. Despite a recent opening-round defeat at the Italian Open, Sabalenka’s overall consistency and strong performances in other majors make her a formidable contender.
