De Stefano vs Tubello Prediction 18 September 2026

Samira De Stefano is in excellent form - she has won 9 of her last 10 matches, with a seven-match winning streak setting her apart from most players in the draw. In recent matches she has beaten Barbora Palicova and Arantxa Rus convincingly. De Stefano has a high set-winning percentage (86%) and games-winning percentage (67%). On serve she wins just over a quarter of her service games, but compensates with solid return play and a strong break-point conversion rate (49%). In her last ten matches she has been bagelled only once and has won in straight sets eight times.

Alice Tubello's results have been less consistent - she has won 6 of her last 10 matches, though a losing streak was recently ended by back-to-back wins in Ljubljana over Vivian Wolff and Dalma Gálfi. She holds slightly more than a third of her service games, and her first serve goes in considerably more often (82%). Her overall games-won percentage is lower, at just 53%, as is her sets-won rate (62%). Tubello has had occasional issues with break-point conversion (33%) and suffered several defeats in a short spell before the current tournament. Her recent wins suggest she can compete for individual sets, but her form over a longer stretch is weaker than her opponent's.
