Katerina Siniakova vs Paula Badosa prediction
Paula Badosa continues to search for her best tennis in 2026.
The Spaniard has a 2-4 record and early exits have seen her tumble from the leading 25 to outside the world’s top 60.
The former world number two now takes on an opponent who is also struggling for consistency, although the Czech is flirting with a return to the top 40 at present.
This is their first meeting and there’s little to go on in terms of form or history and, as a result, It may be worth giving this a wide berth or taking in a set before plumping for a pick.
Badosa’s best would usually be seen as too good for Siniakova but she’s simply not finding that enough of late and there are a lot of uncertainties here overall.
