Marta Kostyuk v Varvara Gracheva Head to Head
The two ladies have quite a bit of rivalry going on, with Kostyuk leading 3-2. They last met in the 2021 WTA Chicago where Gracheva won in three sets.

Gracheva Scripts Personal History
Varvara Gracheva has truly impressed in Austin over the last week, as she moved past a tricky field to reach her first career singles final. This is also her first final of any sort since September 2019, when she won the ITF Valencia.
In the opener, she knocked out the Australian Open semifinalist Magda Linette in three sets, following it with another three-set slogfest against Anna Blinkova. Next, Gracheva played the two-time Grand Slam finalist Sloane Stephens and beat her 7-6(4), 6-3.
Then in the semis, the 22-year-old was up against Katie Volynets, whom she defeated 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
Varvara arrived for the tournament with a tally of 7-8, struggling with early exits this season. Her third-round showing in the Australian Open remained her best run – up until now. Despite making it to the second round in her previous two tournaments, she lost to Maria Sakkari and Stephens.

Kostyuk on a Confident Run
Like Gracheva, Marta Kostyuk, too, will play in her maiden WTA final and in all her fairness, her chances of winning this one are far better than her Russian counterpart’s.
In her match for the final spot, she went up against the local favourite Danielle Collins and prevailed 6-4, 6-3 in an hour and 25 minutes. The number eight seed lost her serve just once in the entire match while winning three games consecutively.
Her other opponents in the tournament were Anna-Lena Friedsam, Madison Brengle, and Dalma Galfi.
Kostyuk, currently ranked World No. 52, enjoyed a solid start to the year and it seemed to be only a matter of time before she made it to a final. She arrived in Austin with a record of 10-6, courtesy of quarterfinal results in Adelaide and Hua Hin, and round two stints in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Kostyuk v Gracheva Prediction and Tip
Kostyuk is the odds-on favourite here; even though she is two years younger than Gracheva, her time on the WTA Tour so far has been far more rewarding. That said, Varvara may very well ask some tough questions of the Ukrainian.
