Yasmine Kabbaj vs Berfu Cengiz prediction
Yasmine Kabbaj last competed in Saint-Malo on the ITF circuit. She only entered the draw as a lucky loser but did win her first-round match against Diane Parry. She then went on to lose to Jessika Ponchet in straight sets. Her best result of the season was a semi-final appearance in Cayenne. She currently has a negative win-loss record in 2026, with 13 losses and 11 wins from 24 matches. Kabbaj is ranked outside of the top 300 in the world.
She takes on Berfu Cengiz for a place in the round-of-16 of this event. The 26-year-old competes in the main draw of a WTA event for the first time this year, having failed to qualify for tournaments in Doha and Bogota. She is yet to go beyond the second-round of an event this season, and she is now ranked outside of the top 400.
Both players have a brilliant opportunity of a rare tour-level win, and that should lead to a competitive and tension-filled first-round match.
