Marta Kostyuk has the chance to avenge her loss to Karolina Muchova in the 2025 US Open. In the first round at the Wuhan Open, these two will be meeting for the second time. The winner will progress to face Magdalena Frech or Veronika Kudermetova, and we have the match prediction below.

Kostyuk is making her second appearance in Wuhan, having reached the third round last year. The Ukrainian hasn’t had a great season, with her best being three quarter-final showings; at Doha, Madrid, and Montreal.

She is coming off a fourth-round exit in Beijing, beaten by Jessica Pegula in three sets. Kostyuk, 28th in the live rank, has suffered seven defeats in the first round this season and will hope to do better here. 

In her only meeting with Kostyuk, Muchova claimed a three-set win in the fourth round at the US Open. Muchova is making her Wuhan debut and is eyeing a deep run, having recently been to the US Open quarter-finals.

The best she has achieved this season was three semi-final appearances, while she’s only lost twice in the first round. Both opening round defeats were in Grand Slam events, at the French Open and Wimbledon.

The Czech is coming off a three-set defeat to Amanda Anisimova in the Beijing Open fourth round. That was the fifth time in eight matches that she played to three sets. She arrives here placed 21st in the live rank.
