Karolina Pliskova vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro prediction

Karolina Pliskova’s comeback continues to hit new heights.

The Czech has been flying up the rankings in 2026 after over a year out and is now up to 130 in the world after back-to-back quarter-final appearances in Linz and Madrid.

Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro may sit 51 on the WTA ladder but she has just five tour-level wins this year and her patchy form makes Pliskova a strong bet here.
