Garcia a Player to Beat
Caroline Garcia is starting in the Citi DC Open as the second seed, with a bye into round two.
The current World No. 6 is coming off a decent grass swing; two quarterfinals in Berlin and Eastbourne and a third-round stint in Wimbledon.
The 29-year-old has had a pretty slow season by her standards. So far, Caro has just reached two WTA 250 finals – Lyon and Monterrey. That said, she has all the skills and experience in the world to turn it all around. She did just as much last season by winning the Cincinnati Open and year-end WTA Finals.
Garcia has 29 wins in 2023 against 15 defeats. It is worth noting that many of those losses have come at the hands of lower-ranked players like Sorana Cirstea, Alycia Parks, Magda Linette, Mayar Sherif, and Camila Osorio. Clearly, Kostyuk has all the motivation in the world to pull an upset.
Kostyuk Knocks out Andreescu
Marta Kostyuk pulled a great win against the hard-hitting Canadian Bianca Andreescu. In a little under three hours, Marta won the match 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(5). Her service game was inferior when compared to Bianca’s, but relatively fewer unforced errors got her through.
The 21-year-old has had a good season; she is ranked World No. 34 – a career-best feat for her. In March, she also won her first WTA singles title – ATX Open Austin.
On the doubles side, she won the Birmingham Classic with Barbora Krejcikova.
Most recently, Kostyuk played at Wimbledon, where she made it to round three. Before that, she fell in the opening rounds in Paris and Birmingham.
Overall, the youngster has gained some good exposure to top-tier tennis.
Garcia v Kostyuk Prediction and Tip
Garcia starts as the favourite but do not dismiss the chances of an upset. Kostyuk has the skills to beat Caro, but whether she can muster the composure to do so is something to be seen. Expect an intriguing affair.
Tips:
- Low-Risk Tip: Garcia to win: 3/7
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 20.5 games: 5/6
