Head-to-head statistics Oliynykova - Pliskova
Oleksandra Oliynykova Player Overview
Five wins from her last ten. Oleinikova wins around 46% of games per match - enough to make things uncomfortable for higher-ranked opponents. First serve lands at 77%, but she struggles to hold: just 51% of service games won. Three bagel sets in the last ten matches, yet her break-point conversion sits at 47%. That combination - shaky hold rate, decent conversion - means she can stay competitive even against big servers.

Key factors
- Both players average over 19 games per match.
- Each has three wins and three losses by a 2-0 scoreline in their last ten matches - a sign this could be competitive.
- Karolina Plíšková wins 65% of her service games, which makes quick breaks difficult.
- Aleksandra Oleynikova consistently takes around 46% of games - enough to put up a fight.
- They've never played each other before, which reduces the risk of an unexpected scenario.
Expected scenario
Expect plenty of games - both players tend to play long sets without either pulling clear. A third set is possible, but so are two tight ones. Either way, the total games should run high.
Prediction on the over/under
- Karolina Pliskova has won under 13.5 games in last 5 matches.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Both players are in decent enough form to make this a competitive first-round match - no clear edge either way. The games numbers suggest the 19.5 line gets cleared regularly, even in straight sets. Pliskova's serve hold rate makes quick breaks unlikely, and Oleynikova can create chances on return and convert break points. The bet - over 19.5 games.
