Yulia Putintseva vs Marta Kostyuk prediction
Yulia Putintseva advanced in Madrid following a three set win over Tereza Valentova in the first-round. Putintseva broke on four separate occasions in the deciding set as she won 6-4 4-6 6-3 after two hours and 52 minutes.
She now faces Marta Kostyuk. The Ukrainian tasted success on the tour for the first time since 2023 as she won her second tour-level title at the Open de Rouen. After that win, she returned to the top 25 in the world rankings. Kostyuk began the season strongly as she reached a final in Brisbane, but an injury sustained at the Australian Open kept her out for six weeks. Kostyuk performed well here last year, advancing to the last eight.
Kostyuk leads the head-to-head 1-0 after coming from a set down to beat Putintseva in Brisbane earlier this year. Her confidence will be high after her displays last week, and she is the firm favourite to progress to the next stage in Madrid.
