Head-to-head statistics Semenistaja - Kostovic
Darja Semenistaja Player Overview
Daria Semenistaya arrives at this match in poor form, with just 3 wins from her last 10 matches. In the previous round she beat Haya Kinoshita, but before that she lost to Anastasia Potapova and Anastasia Tikhonova. Her games-won percentage (44%) and sets-won percentage (43%) are noticeably lower than her opponent's, and while her serve holds a reasonable rate (61% of service games won), that does not offset the gap in the key metrics overall. The frequency of defeats without taking a set points to difficulties maintaining an advantage during matches.

Teodora Kostovic Player Overview
Teodora Kostovic is in fine form, winning 7 of her last 10 matches. In her most recent outing she beat Viktoria Luisa Barros comfortably, conceding just six games. Her set-winning percentage is an impressive 73%, and she is also ahead on games at 59%. On serve she wins just over a third of her service games, though her aggressive return game often compensates for that in the overall points balance. A run of eight straight wins in straight sets points to her ability to close out matches quickly.

Expected scenario
Teodora Kostovic looks likely to control this match, given her better current form, a strong sets-won record and composure in decisive moments. Both players frequently finish their matches in straight sets, so a third set seems unlikely - a two-set outcome appears the most probable scenario for the selected bet.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Current form, set-winning percentage and first-set consistency all favour Teodora Kostovic. Darya Semenistaya regularly loses to lower-ranked opponents, and a low rally-winning percentage reflects this imbalance. The match is expected to stay under Kostovic's control without reaching a third set - a scenario supported by both players' statistics over recent weeks. The pick is Teodora Kostovic to Win.
