Aryna Sabalenka will try to kick off her Wimbledon Open campaign in style as she seeks a dominant win over qualifier Teodora Kostovic in the first round.
Sabalenka, who hasn’t lost a first-round match in the last four years, is facing a -6.5-game handicap (-125) against Kostovic.
Current Form:
Aryna Sabalenka opens her Wimbledon Open campaign against Teodora Kostović of Serbia, who made it into the main draw after going through the qualification rounds. Sabalenka entered the Wimbledon Open still the world’s No.1 and the No.1 seed of this Grand Slam tournament that remains elusive for her. Sabalenka competed at the Berlin Open, where she scored wins over Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-4, 6-4 and Nikola Bartunkova 2-6, 7-6, 6-4 before falling to Jessica Pegula in three sets 4-6, 7-6, 6-0.
Teodora Kostović racked three consecutive wins in the qualifying stages, including a win over former top-100 Rebecca Sramkova 4-7, 7-6, 6-4, to reach the main draw of the Wimbledon Open. Kostovic holds a 3-0 record on grass, but Monday’s clash with Sabalenka will be the first time she will be playing a player ranked inside the top-50. Unfortunately, she got the world’s best women’s singles players in the first round.

Our Aryna Sabalenka vs Teodora Kostovic Prediction
Aryna Sabalenka will cruise past Teodora Kostovic 6-1, 6-3
Sabalenka should make easy work of Kostovic in this mismatched pairing.
After losing to Pegula in the semifinal of the 2026 Berlin Open, Sabalenka spent the final week of grass-court buildup training on the lawns of the All-England Club. It means Sabalenka is coming into the match with Kostovic already prepared and acclimated to the court conditions at W19.
Kostovic deserves credit for making it into the main draw of the 2026 Wimbledon Open. However, the Serb’s fairy tale run will come to an end at the hands of Sabalenka, who has never tasted a first-round loss in the last four years.
