Qualifier Sara Bejlek is one win away from the Abu Dhabi Open quarter-finals. Round two of this outdoor hard court tournament sees her play seventh-seed Jelena Ostapenko. Time for our match prediction.
Whoever wins this match will face either top seed Belinda Bencic or qualifier Sonay Kartal in the last eight.
20- year-old Sara Bejlek had lost her last two matches before entering the qualifying rounds of this WTA 500 tournament. Two qualifiers were won for the loss of just seven games. That set up a round one match against last year's runner-up Ashlyn Krueger.
Bejlek only dropped three games against Krueger who had beaten her last month in the Australian Open. Her best form last year was shown on clay with three titles won. Beating Krueger has taken her back into the top 100.
Jelena Ostapenko is 24th in the live rankings, just over 60 places above her opponent. The 28-year-old has won two of her five matches played in 2026. After first round exits in both Brisbane and Adelaide, Ostapenko made it to round two of the Australian Open.
Round one in Abu Dhabi saw the Czech defeat Oksana Selekhmeteva after losing the first set.
We tip this match to go to three sets.
