Elina Svitolina vs Karolina Muchova prediction

Elina Svitolina has work to do if she’s to emulate her WTA Finals triumph of 2018.

The Ukrainian suffered a chastening 6-4 6-0 loss to Mirra Andreeva in her Group 2 opener and knows there’s little margin for error from here.

The sixth seed takes on Karolina Muchova for the fifth time after the Czech fell to a narrow 7-6 7-5 loss to Aryna Sabalenka.

Svitolina leads the head-to-head 3-1, winning both matches on hardcourts, but did lose 4-6 6-2 4-6 to Karolina in their most recent clash on clay in Stuttgart this year. 

Both players have been in sizzling form in 2026 and neither will want to end the year on a sour note. This should be a close tussle as a result and while we lean towards Muchova, a third set looks worth a punt too.
