Marta Kostyuk, the 20th seed at this year’s Australian Open, starts her tournament against unseeded Elsa Jacquemont. This is their first career meeting, and the winner will battle Yulia Putintseva or Beatriz Haddad Maia in the second round. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Jacquemont is seeking her first win of the year after starting the campaign with back-to-back losses. The Frenchwoman lost in Brisbane and Hobart without winning a set.
This isn’t the form she would have hoped to arrive with in Melbourne, where she is making her debut. Jacquemont has dropped to 59th in the live ranking.
While Jacquemont has struggled to win, Marta Kostyuk has almost earned victories at will. The Ukrainian has been one of the top performers in the WTA in 2026 and has won four of five fixtures.
This strong start led to a runner-up finish in Brisbane, where she shocked some of the WTA’s top players. Kostyuk faced off against four WTA top 10 players in Brisbane and won against Jessica Pegula, Mirra Andreeva, and Amanda Anisimova.
The world number 20 has made it to at least the third round in each of her last four appearances at the Australian Open and was a quarter-finalist in 2024.
