Kamilla Rakhimova vs Barbora Krejcikova prediction

Kamilla Rakhimova attempted to qualify for the Monterrey Open last time out, and she did win her first match against Leolia Jeanjean. However, she was then beaten by Maria Timofeeva in three sets. Her best result of the season remains a quarter-final appearance at Queen’s Club, while she did reach the third-round of the Canadian Open earlier this month. Rakhimova is ranked outside the world’s top 90 in the live rankings, while she also has a negative win-loss record in 2026.

She faces two-time Grand Slam singles champion Barbora Krejcikova in round one. Krejcikova has not enjoyed a strong North American summer swing up to this point, as she lost her opening matches in Toronto and Cincinnati to Liudmila Samsonova and Sara Bejlek respectively. She did win a title last month, at the Hellenic Championships in Athens. Krejcikova reached the US Open quarter-finals in 2021 and 2025.

Despite her indifferent form, Krejcikova does seem to raise her games at the majors, and she should have too much quality for Rakhimova.
