Nikola Bartunkova and Clara Tauson are locked in what many expected to be a thrilling contest in the second round of the 2026 Canadian Open.
Current Form:
No. 27 seed Clara Tauson heads to Toronto in search of a spark to reignite her campaign in 2026. After falling to Barbora Krejcikova in the semifinals of the 2026 Hellenic Championships, Tauson bombed out in the first round in Washington. She lost to Elisabetta Cocciaretto in three sets: 6-4, 6-7, 6-7.
Bartunkova moved on to the second round in Toronto after sweeping former Grand Slam champion Bianca Andreescu 7-5, 6-4. Coming off a third-round appearance at Wimbledon, Bartunkova also competed in her home tournament in Prague. She reached the second round of that event before losing to Lanlana Tararudee in three sets.
The Matchup: Tauson is a -135 favorite heading into her first meeting with Bartunkova. However, Caesars Sportsbook narrowed the spread to 1.5 games, which indicates the bookmaker anticipates a tight contest.
