Antonia Ruzic’s rather one-sided rivalry with Emiliana Arango continues in the 2026 Hobart International. Both women are on the hunt for their first WTA Tour title, with Arango looking to settle the scores while doing so. See our best bet in this match prediction.
Arango heads straight into this game coming off her RO64 defeat to McCartney Kessler in the Australian Open. But that's just one of many defeats for the Colombian in recent games, with six losses in her last seven singles. And if that wasn't bad enough, Arango now has to face Antonia Ruzic, a player she's never defeated, in the RO32.
Although she fought hard in both meetings, Arango was still dominant, losing both games in straight sets. Still, Emiliana is the higher-ranked player and should've learnt a thing or two about Ruzic by now, particularly how to stop her. The Croatian herself has been a bit shaky in recent games.
Ruzic has now lost back-to-back games, with the latest coming in the Australian Open qualifiers to the underdog Maria Timofeeva. However, right before that, she made a quarterfinal appearance in the Limoges 125 and a semifinal finish in the Angers 125 tournament. She's in better form and holds the psychological H2H advantage. But will that translate to another win? See key stats below.
