Petra Marcinko vs Oleksandra Oliynykova prediction
Petra Marcinko faces Oleksandra Oliynykova sitting just one place below the Ukrainian in the rankings.
The Croatian won their only previous clash 6-1 0-6 6-1 on clay in Zagreb last year and will feel she has the greater overall pedigree.
Marcinko has three tour-level wins to her opponent’s five in 2026 and while we favour the lower ranked player, there could be decent value in tipping inconsistent players to go three.
Petra Marcinko vs Oleksandra Oliynykova tip: Over 2.5 sets
