The 2024 Canadian Open has arrived, and we’ve already got an intriguing second-round contest up ahead. This relates to the upcoming match of Svitolina vs Kostyuk, for which I’ve shared my tennis predictions today below.
Our favourite Elina Svitolina vs Marta Kostyuk predictions
Contents
This will be just the second time that these two have played on the WTA Tour. Being from the same place, they obviously know each other and their styles of play very well, which already creates a good chance of a close contest. Furthermore, based on the way they’ve started in Toronto, I’m going for the following markets:
Three total sets @ 29/20 (2.45)
It’s always risky going for a three set wager in a best of three format. But given how close these two are in ranking and form, I feel a three set battle could materialise. Additionally, the odds for this market are too good to ignore, which makes the wager worth it.
Kostyuk to win a set – yes @ 3/5 (1.60)
With the form that Kostyuk is in right now, I firmly believe she can take a set from Svitolina. In fact, she’s the higher ranked of the two at 20 in the world. And based on the way she played in the Olympics, as well as in her first round here, she’s definitely playing well enough to make this happen.
Elina Svitolina vs Marta Kostyuk odds
The latest odds reveal that Svitolina has a 65.20% probability of coming through this one, while the chance for Kostyuk is much lower at 41.70%.
Battle of the Ukrainian players – who will come out on top in Toronto?
These two players both looked in sensational form in round one of the Canadian Open. However, let’s take a closer look at each player before you place any wagers:
Elina Svitolina preview
Svitolina is a fearless competitor, and she’s still completing her comeback trail in 2024. As for her recent performances, she lost to the Wimbledon champion in the Paris Olympics in the round of 16 – 6-4 in the final set. She played great tennis in that match, however, and she’s come to Toronto with a no-nonsense attitude, winning her opening round 6-0 6-2.
Marta Kostyuk preview
Marta Kostyuk is playing great tennis right now. She made the quarter-finals of the Olympics, losing to Vekic by a score of 7-6 in the final set. And concerning her opening match of the 2024 Canadian Open, she destroyed Tatjana Maria with the loss of just two games. This shows she’s here to make a deep-draw run in Toronto.
Svitolina vs Kostyuk head to head
Svitolina and Kostyuk have only faced one another in one professional match on the WTA Tour. Given that they are from the same country, you’d have thought their H2H would be more extensive. But as it stands, Svitolina has the edge with a 1-0 head to head against Kostyuk, although this was played in the 2018 Australian Open.
