Stojsavljevic vs Kostyuk Prediction 9 June 2026
🔊 Marta Kostyuk has enjoyed a standout clay-court swing, establishing herself as one of the most consistent performers on the WTA Tour when it comes to playing on clay. Her impressive 16-match winning streak was only halted in the Roland Garros semifinals. In the opening round of the WTA 500 event in London, she faces home favourite Mika Stojsavljevic, who has already found her rhythm on grass after reaching the quarterfinals of the Birmingham Challenger. Will that be enough for the Brit to put up a fight against the in-form Ukrainian?
Head-to-Head
📊 Mika Stojsavljevic and Marta Kostyuk have never faced each other before.
Mika Stojsavljevic Player Overview
Mika Stojsavljevic heads into this match with five wins in her last ten outings. In Birmingham, she got past Emerson Jones and Elvina Kalieva before falling to Nikola Bartunkova in the quarterfinals-a notable result, considering the Czech player went on to reach the Challenger final. On average, Mika’s matches feature nearly 25 games, underlining her ability to push higher-ranked opponents to the limit. While her hold percentage remains below par, she consistently wins around 50% of points behind her serve. However, her return game remains a concern, as the Brit converts just 34% of her break point opportunities.

Marta Kostyuk Player Overview
Marta Kostyuk heads into this match riding a wave of confidence, having won nine of her last ten outings and showcasing consistent form at major tournaments. Among her recent scalps are Iga Swiatek and Elina Svitolina, both of whom Kostyuk defeated before falling to Mirra Andreeva in the Roland Garros semifinals. Kostyuk boasts a notably higher set win percentage (78%) and game win percentage (60%), along with a solid hold rate on serve at around 57%. However, she doesn't always dominate the scoreline-her opponents often manage to claim a fair share of points even when Kostyuk ultimately prevails.
