Kostovic vs Quevedo Prediction 18 September 2026
🔊 The upcoming WTA São Paulo quarter-final between Teodora Kostovic and Kaitlin Quevedo features two young, ambitious players who know each other's games well. A semi-final place is at stake, and given their previous extended cup encounter, this match has every chance of being a lengthy battle.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two players have met once before - in the qualifying rounds of Roland Garros in spring 2026. That match stretched to three sets, and at the key moments Quevedo proved slightly cooler under pressure, taking the win 7-6, 3-6, 6-2.
