McCartney Kessler and Yuliia Starodubtseva will be renewing their rivalry when they meet at the Charleston Open quarter-finals. The two are set to face off for the fourth time in their careers. We have a prediction for the match below.
Kessler expertly navigated through her last two matches against higher-ranked players to get to her first Charleston quarterfinal. The American is marking her return here after missing in 2025.
Wins over Elvina Kalieva, Janice Tjen, and Peyton Stearns have improved her Charleston record to 4-3. This will be her second quarterfinal this season, having failed to make it past that stage in Abu Dhabi.
Having compiled a 10-7 record, she comes here sitting 47th in the live rank.
In the three previous meetings with Kessler, Starodubtseva suffered two defeats. It then means that the Ukrainian will hereby be looking to level the series at 2-2.
Starodubtseva is actually playing her first quarter-final of the season, her best before Charleston being the third round at Miami. In her debut appearance here, Starodubtseva has already claimed wins against Shuai Zhang, Ekaterine Gorgodze, and most recently Renata Zarazua.
The 26-year-old has only lost one set in Charleston and has so far compiled a 14-9 record, coming here placed 68th in the live rankings.
