A clash of two gritty vets banners Sunday’s schedule in the women’s singles tournament at the 2025 Cincinnati Open as two-time Grand Slam winner Barbora Krejcikova takes on former top-10 Elina Svitolina in the second round.
Krejcikova cleared her first assignment in Cincinnati, outgunning Alycia Parks in three sets 6-4 4-6 6-0.

Our Barbora Krejcikova vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Elina Svitolina is in a terrific position to earn her first win against Barbora Krejcikova on Sunday. Svitolina, who fell to the Czech in two clay-court tournaments (3rd round of the 2024 Olympics and 3rd round of the 2021 French Open, will walk into her third career showdown with Krejcikova as the clear-cut favorite at -330 primarily because she has had better results this year than the Czech, who could only come up with a 6-5 record in an injury-riddled season.
I am predicting Svitolina to finish off an out-of-form Krejcikova in straight sets, beating a -3.5 game spread with ease.
