Marta Kostyuk v Stacey Fung Head to Head
This will be a first meeting between the two.

Kostyuk Is Off Colour Recently
World no. 45 Marta Kostyuk was brilliant in the first quarter of the year but has lost form considerably since then.
Kostyuk’s current form is concerning as she has won just one match in the last four tournaments. That win came in the first round in San Diego this week. She would be relieved to have finally won a first round match again after making three first round exits from Montreal, Cincinnati and Indian Wells.
Kostyuk had reached her maiden WTA final in Austin and then by beating Varvara Gracheva in the final, she lifted the first WTA title of her career.
The 21-year-old is 23-19 across levels this year. In addition to winning the title, she was also a quarterfinalist in Adelaide and Hua Hin and most recently in Washington. Can she get off to a good start?

Fung Has Three ITF Titles This Year
Canada’s Stacey Fung is 28-12 across levels this year. While it will be her first Tour level event, she has won three titles this year at the ITF level.
Fung, the world no. 232, is 25-10 on hard courts this year and that includes ITF titles in Santo Domingo; Tbilisi, Georgia; and Wichita, Kansas respectively.
She is currently on a four match losing streak and will be playing her first match in over a month.
Fung’s last four matches saw her suffer defeats in the quarterfinal in Saskatoon ITF; and the first rounds in Granby ITF; and Landisville 2 ITF. In her last match she lost in the first qualifying round in WTA 125 in Stanford.
Can Fung impress in her first round match in Guadalajara?
