Donna Vekic vs Karolina Pliskova prediction

Karolina Pliskova dismantled defending champion Ekaterina Alexandrova to surge into the last eight in Linz.

The former world number one bagged one of the best wins since returning from a lengthy injury lay-off with a 6-1 6-3 success over the second seed.

The Czech world number 258 will now take on Donna Vekic after the Croatian qualifier was handed a walkover by lucky loser Anhelina Kalinina.

This will be their 11th meeting with Pliskova leading 7-3 in the head-to-head and 2-0 on clay courts.

Karolina claimed a 6-2 6-7 7-6 win over the world number 104 in Stuttgart back in 2023 and conditions are similar here.

Vekic is beginning to piece together some form, but there’s definitely a vibe suggesting Pliskova’s comeback is really gathering pace and we fancy her for the rankings upset again here.
