Unseeded Sonay Kartal had a great run in this tournament last year. Her 2026 BNP Paribas Open campaign begins with a first round match against qualifier Lanlana Tararudee. Read our match prediction below.
The 20th seed Emma Navarro will be faced by the winner in round two of this outdoor hard court tournament.
Kartal lost in the qualifying round here last year. Reinstated as a lucky loser, the British player made it to round four before losing to Aryna Sabalenka. Now she has to defend all the points earned from that run.
This year has seen the 24-year-old reach the last eight in Auckland and Abu Dhabi.
Kartal is 62nd in the live rankings.but ten places higher in the WTA Race.
Lanlana Tararudee is making her debut in this Sunshine Swing tournament. 14 of her 19 matches have been won this year but mainly on the ITF circuit. Two semi-finals have been reached and one other last eight appearance.
Tararudee lost in the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open. Both of her qualifiers in this tournament were won in straight sets. This is a much tougher task for the 21-year-old who is a career-high 124th after reaching the main draw.
We tip Kartal to win in straight sets.
