Yulia Putintseva vs Dalma Galfi prediction

Yulia Putintseva will be targeting a third straight victory over Dalma Galfi.

The Kazakhstani leads 2-0 in the head-to-head and won their most recent showdown on hardcourt last year.

The world number 74 impressed in qualifying to make the main draw after her first outing of 2026 as a lucky loser saw her reach the second round in Brisbane.

Galfi, who sits 20 places below Putintseva, also looked good in qualifying in what were her first two matches since early December.

The Hungarian will need to come up with a new game-plan in this match-up to cause some damage, but we expect Putintseva to hold all of the cards as she looks to put together a much better year this time around, having tumbled from the top 20 over the past 12 months.
