Qualifier Sofia Costoulas meets third seed Iva Jovic in the quarter-finals at Auckland, marking their first career meeting. Read on to find our prediction for the match.
Jovic defeated Gabriela Knutson in the first round, fighting from a set down to win in three. To advance to this round, she had a more assured performance against Sara Bejlek, winning in straight sets.
Jovic, who is up to 33rd in the live ranking, had a career-defining campaign in 2025. She won an incredible 40 matches for the first time in her career.
The highlight of her season, however, was the run in Guadalajara, where she was crowned champion for the first time at a tour event.
Costoulas will hope to have a similar performance this week as she goes for her maiden tour title. The Belgian is on her best-ever performance at a tour event.
Costoulas had never won a tour fixture before this season but is now seeking a third successive victory at this level. The 20-year-old defeated fellow qualifier Whitney Osuigwe in the first round in three sets.
She would follow that up with a dominant 6-2, 6-0 win over Kaitlin Quevedo to reach this round. Now on a four-match winning streak to start the season after back-to-back qualifying victories, Costoulas has shot up 18 places in the live ranking to 141st.
