Andreeva vs. Kostyuk Head-to-Head History
These two players met at the Brisbane International earlier this year, and it was Kostyuk who won 7-6 (7), 6-3 en route to the final. This will be their first meeting on clay, and both players have enjoyed a dominant run in Madrid.
Andreeva defeated Hailey Baptiste 6-4, 7-6 (8) in the semifinals, showcasing great tenacity in what was a close contest. She has also seen off Leylah Fernandez, Anna Bondár, Dalma Gálfi, and Panna Udvardy in Madrid while dropping just one set in the process.
Having already won the clay-court title in Linz and reached the semifinals in Stuttgart, Andreeva will be determined to clinch her third WTA 1000 title.
However, Kostyuk will present her with a tough challenge in the final. The Ukrainian arrived in Madrid full of confidence following her triumph at the Open de Rouen. She enjoyed a dominant start in Madrid, breezing past the in-form Jessica Pegula in a third-round upset.
Kostyuk also dominated against Linda Nosková in the quarterfinals before overcoming Anastasia Potapova in three sets in the semifinals.
Prediction and Pick for Andreeva vs. Kostyuk
Both players have been playing at a very high level on clay over the last 12 months. Andreeva has more big-match experience under her belt, but Kostyuk is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting players on the WTA Tour.
Kostyuk has used her aggressive ball-striking and relentless accuracy to great effect in Madrid, creating 65 break-point opportunities across her five matches at the tournament. She will also take the momentum from her unbeaten run and her win over Andreeva in Brisbane into the final.
Andreeva has had moments of frustration throughout her run in Madrid. But she has managed to make it this far, once again showing her prowess on clay and ability to tough it out under pressure.
The Russian has a lot of variety in her game and likes to adopt a patient approach by taking the pace off the ball and grinding out points. This contrasting style between the two players should make for a fascinating final that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
While Kostyuk goes into the final on the back of an 11-match winning streak, we are backing Andreeva’s experience at this level to give her the edge to claim the victory in what should be a tight match.
Pick: Andreeva in three sets.
