Nikola Bartunkova goes for a convincing win over Caroline Dolehide in the qualification round of the 2026 Miami Open on Monday.

Current Form:

Caroline Dolehide will be aiming to rebound from back-to-back losses at Indian Wells and Austin. The former top-100 player lost to Kimberly Birrell 4-6, 2-6 in the qualification round at Indian Wells and then suffered another straight-set setback to Anastasia Zakharova 5-7, 1-6 in the qualification round of the Austin 125. Dolehide is 5-3 on the 2026 WTA season.

Nikola Bartunkova will be trying her luck in Miami after falling one win short of a main draw appearance at Indian Wells. Bartunkova, who reached the third round at the 2026 Australian Open, lost to Himeno Sakatsume 5-7, 6-1, 3-6 in the final qualification match in Tennis Paradise. Bartunkova is 9-4 on the season with a 4-1 record against the WTA top-100.

Our Caroline Dolehide vs Nikola Bartunkova Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Nikola Bartunkova defeats Caroline Dolehide 6-3, 6-4

Nikola Bartunkova opened at -174 moneyline, yet she offers a more lucrative value proposition in the alternative spread market, where you can back her as high as -6.5 games (+490).

Bartunkova certainly has a top-50 potential or maybe top-20, depending on the rate of her growth. Against the struggling Dolehide, Bartunkova is expected to dominate right from the get-go, baffling the American with her aggressive and unpredictable style of play that features drop shots and tactical placements of the ball. While I would not recommend you bet on her at -6.5 games, you can still get a fairly solid deal at -3.5 games (+105).
