Elena-Gabriela Ruse vs Rebeka Masarova prediction
Elena-Gabriela Ruse showed some form at the Australian Open as she got through to the third-round. The Romanian defeated Dayana Yastremska and followed that up with a straight sets win over Ajla Tomljanovic. Her run would end against Mirra Andreeva. This was Ruse’s best result at the tournament and just the second time she had reached the third-round of a major. Her attention now turns to a strong showing at a home tournament, having made the final here in 2023.
Ruse takes on Rebeka Masarova in round one. The Swiss has two defeats from her first three matches in 2026. She failed to qualify for the Brisbane International and lost in the second stage of Australian Open qualifying after a defeat to Maja Chwalinska.
Ruse leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a straight sets win in the semi-final of this event three years ago. She is the commanding favourite to win in a similar fashion this time around.
