Ayla Aksu vs Sofia Costoulas prediction
Ayla Aksu enters the draw as a lucky loser, following her defeat to first-round opponent Sofia Costoulas in qualifying. She also attempted to qualify for the Miami Open earlier in the year but lost in the first stage. She does have a title to her name this season after success in Porto, but the 30-year-old is still yet to break inside the top 200 of the world rankings.
She faces Costoulas yet again. The 21-year-old impressed at the start of the year with her run to the quarter-finals in Auckland. She has also won a lower-level title, and Costoulas will now be hoping for a tour-level victory in Prague. The qualifier achieved a ranking high of 134 in March this year.
Costoulas leads the head-to-head 3-1 and 2-0 on outdoor hard court. Her record on the surface in 2026 is very strong, with 15 wins out of 20 matches. Furthermore, she does have a psychological advantage after that qualifying win over Aksu.
