Sonay Kartal of Great Britain will take on Caroline Garcia of France in the first round of the 2025 Cincinnati Open on Friday.
Kartal gets her North American hard-court season underway on Friday after a promising campaign at the 2025 Wimbledon Open, where she achieved her best finish in any major tournament. Kartal racked up three wins in a row, eliminating Jelena Ostapenko 7-5 2-6 6-2, Viktoriya Tomova 6-2 6-2, and Diane Parry 6-4 6-2 before succumbing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6(3)-7 in the fourth round of the Wimbledon Open.
Meanwhile, Garcia will be playing her first match since losing to Bernarda Pera 4-6, 4-6 in the first round of the 2025 French Open. Garcia has been hampered by various injuries this season, including a back issue that caused her a lot of problems during her clay-court campaign. The 31-year-old Garcia owns 54.1 percent career win rate on hard-court matches, but she’s only 3-6 on the surface this year.

Our Sonay Kartal vs Caroline Garcia Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Confident Sonay Kartal sweeps out of form Caroline Garcia.
Bet on Sonay Kartal to win 2-0 over Caroline Garcia since she’s in much better shape and fresh off an inspiring run at the Wimbledon Open. Garcia’s inactivity over the last few months should adversely affect her timing and stamina, which usually takes several games or tournaments to regain.
Moreover, Kartal’s style of play, which features a package of strong ground strokes and an aggressive baseline game, usually translates better into hard-court matches than Garcia’s serve-plus-one strategy.
Our betting prediction for Sonay Kartal vs. Caroline Garcia: Sonay Kartal 2-0.
