An All-Ukrainian warfare is about to erupt at the 2026 Qatar Open, as Elina Svitolina goes head-to-head with Dayana Yastremska in the second round on Tuesday.

Current Form:

Svitolina arrived in Doha with her mind set for another deep run after winning the ASB Classic and reaching the semifinal of the Australian Open. Holding an impressive 10-1 record, the No.9-ranked Svitolina is winning 66.8 percent of her first serves and converting 58.3 percent of her breakpoint chances.

Yastremska arranged an all-Ukrainian showdown with Svitolina after hacking out a 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 win over Cristina Bucsa of Spain. Yastremska carries a 4-4 record this season, winning only 54.5 percent of her first balls and converting 45.3 percent of her breakpoint chances. It would take a major step up for Yastremska to take down Svitolina, the current Ukraine’s No.1 women’s singles player.
