Elina Avanesyan will face off against Maria Lourdes Carle in the Round of 16 of the WTA Iasi Open, with both players looking to continue their strong form on clay. Elina is seeking just her second win on the surface this year, while the Argentine is hoping to extend her 2025 clay run to 17 wins. Will Elina prove the bookmaker’s right, or can Carle make good on her underdog momentum for a major upset? Read on for our best Avanesyan vs Carle match prediction.

While Elina is the higher-ranked player and enters as the favourite, the evidence suggests we may see a tight contest. In fact, the last time these two met, Carle took a set off Elina before falling in three. And historical performances show little to separate the two on clay, as Avanesyan holds a 66.49% career win rate on the surface, barely edging Carle’s 65.85%.

Yet momentum is clearly on Carle’s side. Carle has now won a set in six of her last seven matches, including an impressive comeback win over Patricia Tig in her most recent outing, where she dropped the first set before dominating 6-2, 6-2. In contrast, Avanesyan, despite her comfortable 6-3, 6-3 straight set win over Prisacariu in the last round, has struggled this year on clay. She lost three of her last four matches on the surface in 2025 and six of her last eight overall.
