Marta Kostyuk v Katerina Siniakova Head to Head
Kostyuk and Siniakova have never faced off before this.
Kostyuk Will Hope to Emulate Doha Showing
After having kick-started the season with successive opening defeats in Brisbane and Adelaide, Marta Kostyuk has managed to turn things around in her favour. And she has done that in the bigger tournaments.
First, she won a couple of rounds at the Australian Open to open her tally for the season before she lost in the third round to Paula Badosa.
More recently, just prior to this one, Kostyuk made it through to the quarterfinal in Doha as well. And it wasn’t just the fact that the Ukrainian player went all the way there but the fact that she stunned Cori Gauff and then overcame Magda Linette on her way to do that.
Kostyuk would have liked to do a lot better in Doha but went down fighting to Amanda Anisimova in a three-setter. Can she now kick-start things off in Dubai on a positive note?

Fit-Again Siniakova Makes it Through the Qualifiers
Katerina Siniakova looked to be doing well in Cluj-Napoca having won three successive rounds to make it to the semifinals.
A left hamstring injury, however, pushed Siniakova back in that encounter and she was forced to retire from that match against Lucia Bronzetti.
The good news for Siniakova is that the injury looks to have healed well enough for her to take to court for the qualifiers in this tournament. The Czech player defeated Kristina Mladenovic and Jaqueline Cristian in back to back matches to reach the main draw here.
This will be her fifth successive main draw appearance for the season with Siniakova having lost her opener in three of them. Can she turn things around like she had in Cluj-Napoca?
Kostyuk v Siniakova Prediction
While a fully-fit Siniakova will have a decent shot at this, one must quickly add that Kostyuk is in some excellent touch and starts off a favourite. We will have to go with that but could see a three-setter.
Kostyuk v Siniakova Tips
- Kostyuk to win: 1/2
- Three sets in the match: 6/5
