Anastasia Zakharova vs Vaishnavi Adkar prediction

Anastasia Zakharova began her Chennai Open campaign with a straight sets win over Polina Iatcenko. The Russian recovered from a closely contested first set to dominate the second, winning 7-6 (3) 6-1. This was a welcome win for Zakharova after a difficult Asian swing, with early losses in Ningbo and Guangzhou to Marie Bouzkova and Magda Linette respectively. She is ranked just outside the world’s top 100.

Her next opponent is Vaishnavi Adkar. The Indian player produced one of the biggest victories of her career in the opening round, coming from a set down to beat Jodie Burrage. Adkar recorded her first WTA main draw victory, winning 3-6 6-3 7-5. She has now won 30 of her 46 hard court matches in 2026, underlining her growing confidence on the surface.

Zakharova will be expected to come through with the win, though Adkar could be a threat with home support on her side.
