Wild card Zeynep Sonmez makes her Abu Dhabi Open main draw debut. Round one of this outdoor hard court tournament sees her face Alexandra Eala. Can Sonmez get the win? Read our match prediction below.
The winner will face either Paula Badosa or lucky loser Aliaksanfra Sasnovich in round two.
Sonmez will need to beat Eala for the first time to reach round two. Both their previous meetings have been won by Eala but this is their first match on an outdoor hard court. The 23-year-old lost in the qualifying rounds of this WTA 500 tournament last year.
Sonmez has a 6-2 record this year. Five of her victories came in the Australian Open. Three qualifiers were won and Sonmez then made it to round three of the main draw, including a win over Ekaterina Alexandrova. Sonmez is 79th in the live rankings.
That's 24 places below her opponent. Alexandra Eala played in this tournament two years ago but lost in round one. Five of her eight matches in 2026 have been won with a best of a semi-final in Auckland.
The Australian Open saw her beaten in round one by Alycia Parks. An ITF tournament was then played and the 20-year-old made the quarter-finals. We tip more than 19.5 games to be played.
