Moyuka Uchijima v Anna Blinkova Head to Head
Uchijima and Blinkova have never faced off before this.
Uchijima Coming off a Shock Win in Dubai
After failing to win any matches in Brisbane and Adelaide to kick off her season, Moyuka Uchijima surprised Magda Linette at the Australian Open.
That was her maiden win for 2025 but it also turned out to be her last for three more tournaments with Uchijima losing her openers in Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Doha.
Which is why when Uchijima came through the qualifiers to make it to the main draw at Dubai and then shocked the Doha finalist Jelena Ostapenko in the first round, it would have come as a huge surprise for everyone following.
The only mitigating factor was the fact that Ostapenko had been thoroughly exhausted having played a whole week’s tennis previously but Uchijima wouldn’t mind that. The world number 62 lost to Elena Rybakina in the second round.

Blinkova Solid in 2025
Anna Blinkova has had a middling kind of a season in which she would be moderately satisfied with the fact that she has won her first round matches at every competition but a tad underwhelmed by what’s followed.
In four of the five tournaments that Blinkova has played, she has lost her very next match – at Brisbane, Hobart, Australian Open and Cluj-Napoca, Blinkova has lost in the second round.
Only at Linz did she manage to win the next match too to make the quarterfinals where she was beaten by Clara Tauson.
While Mirra Andreeva and Clara Tauson have been two of those players who defeated and one can expect that given the kind of form they have been in, Blinkova has also lost to the likes of Sofia Kenin, Magdalena Frech and Ella Seidel, players she could have overcome.
Uchijima v Blinkova Prediction
