Jelena Ostapenko vs Mirra Andreeva Prediction & Picks - WTA Stuttgart Open

Prediction published on 4/15/26, 7:28 AM  by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 4/20/26 at 9:43 AM in Tennis Picks

At the clay-court event in Stuttgart, Germany on Wednesday, there's something of a heavyweight match, with two top-25 players clashing. This is a match between the world number 22 and the world number nine, so we should see some high-quality tennis. The early lines tell us that Mirra Andreeva is heavily fancied to defeat Jelena Ostapenko, but we shouldn't rush to assume that the Russian will make light work of beating the Latvian. 

After all, Andreeva hasn't been quite at her best since the switch to clay, dropping sets against a couple of lower-ranked players, while Ostapenko is a very good clay-court player, who won this event a year ago. The Latvian knows how to get down to business in Stuttgart, while she's no stranger to competing with the best on clay in general, so at odds of -118, she's worth betting on to, at the very least, avoid a straight-set defeat against the world number nine.
