Bandecchi vs Kuzmova Prediction 26 August 2026
🔊 Susan Bandecchi and Viktoria Hruncakova meet in the second round of US Open qualifying on hard courts. The two players know each other well from previous encounters, with the head-to-head swinging back and forth. At this stage of qualifying, consistency from the player in better form this season could be a key factor.
Head-to-Head
📊 In five previous meetings, Gruncakova leads the head-to-head 3-2, though Bandecchi took their most recent encounter. The overall record gives neither player a clear edge, but that latest result does speak to Bandecchi's current form.
Head-to-head statistics Bandecchi - Kuzmova
Susan Bandecchi Player Overview
Bandecchi arrives in fine form, having won eight of her last ten matches, with a confident run through qualifying. In the previous round she beat Alina Charaeva, and before that she had defeated two strong opponents at the ITF United Kingdom event. Seven of her last ten matches have ended in straight sets, and her average match length is under 21 games, with a set-winning percentage of 76%. Her hold percentage is a modest 29%, though she offsets that with a solid points-won rate and effective break-point conversion.
Match Results: Susan Bandecchi
Viktoria Kuzmova Player Overview
Viktoria Hruncakova's recent results have been inconsistent: five wins from ten matches, with three of those defeats coming without dropping - without winning a set. She came through her first-round qualifying match against Julia Riera, but previously lost to Suzan Bandecci at the Warsaw tournament. Statistically, the Slovak tends to play slightly fewer games per match (19-20), but generates more aces (4.2 per match) and holds serve at a higher rate (35%). Her double-fault rate is notably high, however - around 11% - which periodically disrupts her rhythm even when her first serve is working well.
Match Results: Viktoria Kuzmova
Key factors
- In their last five meetings, the total games count has not exceeded 22.5.
- Susan Bandecchi has won 7 of her last 10 matches without dropping a set.
- Both players average fewer than 21 games per match.
- Bandecchi's recent form points to comfortable straight-sets wins.
Expected scenario
Bandecchi looks the clear favourite here, with a straight-sets win the most likely outcome. A third set seems unlikely, so the total games count should come in below the standard line for this stage of the tournament.
Total Games Prediction
The head-to-head trend shows a consistent drop in the total number of games played between these two - none of their recent matches has gone beyond the selected line, even with a relatively even win-loss split.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Suzan Bandecchi's recent form has seen her win matches quickly and efficiently - a pattern reflected in a run of one-sided results and an average game count below the typical threshold for women's hard-court qualifying matches. Their head-to-head meetings have also consistently produced low totals, with Bandecchi holding a clear edge across the key metrics. Our pick is Total Games - Under 22.5.
