Panna Udvardy vs Sara Bejlek prediction
Panna Udvardy begins the 2026 campaign inside the top 100 of the world rankings. She won a couple of lower-level titles last season, while she also reached two quarter-finals on the WTA Tour in Iasi and Sao Paolo. She will be hoping to better her highest ranking, which is currently 76, achieved in September 2022.
Sara Bejlek achieved success on the ITF circuit last season as she picked up three titles in Makarska, Rende and Queretaro. The teenager also won her first main draw match at a Grand Slam, getting through to the second-round of Roland Garros, along with her first WTA quarter-final in Prague, her home tournament.
The head-to-head is locked at 1-1 but this will be their first meeting on a hard court. There is just one place separating the pair in the world rankings, but Bejlek is on an upwards trajectory and will be slightly favoured to get through this one.
