Our Aryna Sabalenka vs Nikola Bartunkova Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Aryna Sabalenka wipes out Nikola Bartunkova to reach the semis of the 2026 Berlin Ladies Open.
Sabalenka will prove too strong for Bartunkova in this matchup.
In her second-round win over Alexandrova, Sabalenka played ruthless tennis on both sides of the ball as she captured 80 percent of her first serves and won 32 return points against a top-20 caliber opponent.
Bartunkova, who upset world No.10 Belinda Bencic at the 2026 Australian Open, has already converted 11 breakpoints in only two matches in Berlin. However, a quarterfinal clash with one of the best servers in women’s tennis will demand a much higher level of tennis from Bartunkova, who only has two matches against top-10 players under her belt.
Bartunkova might get some positive takeaways in this rare opportunity to play Sabalenka. But in the end, this match will underscore the wide gap separating Sabalenka and the players lurking outside the elite circle.
