Simona Waltert will face Anastasija Sevastova in a WTA Iasi clash that could easily go the distance. While this is their first career meeting, both players share a strong clay pedigree that makes this matchup one of the tightest contests of the round. With no prior meetings, we turn to surface form and recent match outcomes to shape our match prediction. Find out below.

Waltert enters the tournament off a dominant 2-0 win in the WTA 250 doubles final, where she partnered to beat Ibbou/Schoofs in straight sets on clay. That result reflects a wider trend for the Swiss player in 2025, where she recorded 20-9 on clay. Waltert’s confidence will undoubtedly be high, but her opponent is no stranger to pressure.

Sevastova may be ranked 384, but the Latvian veteran has a history of success on clay and even once ranked as high as 11th in the world. She has played significantly fewer matches this season, but nine of her eleven appearances have come on clay.

Sevastova did lose her last outing (a 2-0 Grand Slam doubles loss on grass), but it’s worth noting that her worst win-loss career performance has been on grass. And although her 2025 clay record is just 5-4, her all-time record on this turf is a staggering 191–93!
