Marta Kostyuk vs Yulia Putintseva prediction
Marta Kostyuk’s ranking is 26 in the world as she begins her 2026 campaign. She failed to get past the last eight of any tournament last year and experienced a dreadful run of form during the grass court season as she didn’t win a match. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian was consistent at the WTA 1000 events, making the round-of-16 in four of those tournaments, along with three quarter-finals in Doha, Madrid and Montreal.
She faces Yulia Putintseva. She entered the main draw as a lucky loser but advanced into round two after a win over Hailey Baptiste. Her first serve percentage in the match was 80% as she won 6-2 6-4 after one hour and 22 minutes.
Kostyuk comes into this as the clear favourite and is ranked nearly 50 places above her opponent. The Ukrainian’s aggression is likely so suit the fast conditions in Brisbane and she should be able to get her season off to a strong start.
