Ashlyn Krueger vs Sofia Kenin prediction

Ashlyn Krueger’s last event was in Charleston, with the American defeating Caty McNally in her first-round match but then losing to Peyton Stearns. Her best result of the season so far was a semi-final appearance at the ATX Open, but Krueger has struggled to find consistency up to this point in 2026.

She faces Sofia Kenin in the first-round. It’s been a poor season for the 2020 Australian Open champion up to this point, with just two wins from 11 matches. She also competed in Charleston earlier this month, defeating fellow slam champion Bianca Andreescu in her opening match before a loss to teenager Iva Jovic in straight sets.

The WTA head-to-head is 1-1 between the pair, but this is their first match on a clay court. Kenin won their meeting in Doha last year, with Krueger exacting revenge at the US Open. Kenin is significantly struggling right now in terms of form, but Krueger has not been particularly convincing herself.
