Marta Kostyuk vs Iga Swiatek prediction
Marta Kostyuk picked up her first ever victory against Madison Keys as the Ukrainian reached the round-of-16 at the Canadian Open. Kostyuk saved all 10 break points on offer and conceded just four games, winning 6-3 6-1. The 24-year-old is enjoying her best season on tour by quite some distance, winning her first WTA 1000 title in Madrid and reaching her first two major semi-finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. She is currently at her highest ranking of 11 in the world.
She now faces former world number one Iga Swiatek. The Pole continued her serene progress so far in Toronto as she thrashed Viktorija Golubic in straight sets. Swiatek conceded just the one break point as she won 6-2 6-1 after an hour and six minutes.
Swiatek leads the head-to-head 3-1 and 2-0 on outdoor hard court, but Kostyuk did win their most recent meeting at Roland Garros in straight sets. Kostyuk possesses the power to hit through almost any opponent when she’s firing, but Swiatek will look to counter that with her return game and movement. The six-time Grand Slam champion will be motivated by the memory of her defeat in Paris, but Kostyuk is now becoming one of the most dangerous players on tour.
Marta Kostyuk vs Iga Swiatek tip: Over 22.5 games
