Dayana Yastremska and Cristina Bucsa, both unseeded, face off in the opening round of the 2026 Qatar Open. The winner of their third career meeting takes on seventh seed Elina Svitolina next. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Yastremska has never lost against Bucsa in both of their duels. Though they haven’t played each other in four years, she will be confident of maintaining this unbeaten record as she seeks a strong week.
Yastremska, who is coming off a second-round exit in Abu Dhabi, is having a shaky season and has lost four of seven outings. Last season, the world number 43 played her first main draw match in Doha after five years, but failed to win.
Cristina Bucsa competed in the main draw for the first time in Doha last season and won her opening round tie. She was, however, eliminated in her next match.
The Spaniard will hope to continue with her 100% first-round record and eventually spark a deep run through the week and offset her early troubles. Bucsa has started the season poorly and has managed just one win through four outings.
Despite not managing a win since her first match of the season in Brisbane, Bucsa has moved up in the live ranking to 56th.
