Marta Kostyuk vs Oksana Selekhmeteva prediction
Right now, it’s fair to say that Marta Kostyuk is one of the hottest players in tennis. Winner of the Madrid Open earlier in the month, not to mention the Open de Rouen before that, Kostyuk is currently riding the crest of a wave and has been victorious in each of her last 12 clay court matches heading into Roland-Garros.
That only highlights what a massive challenge Oksana Selekhmeteva has on her hands to stop the Ukrainian. Especially when you take into account the record of Selekhmeteva in this particular Grand Slam. She is yet to win a match in the French Open and whilst still young at 23-years-old, it must affect her psychologically knowing that this is an environment that she hasn’t overcome so far.
It’s hard to see that changing in 2026. Kostyuk is just too good and is playing so well at the moment. In this form, she’d be more than a match for anyone in this tournament. Any outcome other than a comfortable win for her over Selekhmeteva would be a surprise.
