Australian rising star Maya Joint will battle former Grand Slam champion Sofia Kenin of the United States in what should be an electric second-round clash at the 2025 Korea Open.
Joint is coming in as the favorite (-150) against Kenin (+125), who carries a 180-123 record on the hard court.
Current Form:
Joint advanced to the second round of the 2025 Korea Open with a 6-4 7-6(4) win over Linda Fruhvirtova of the Czech Republic. Joint, who lost to Amanda Anisimova 6 (2)-7, 2-6 in the second round of the 2025 US Open, conceded four service breaks to Fruhvirtova but won back five breakpoints by capturing 44 return points. Joint improved his 2025 WTA season record to 43-22, including a 21-13 record on the hard court.
Kenin also progressed to the second round in Seoul after edging Laura Siegemund of Germany 2-6 6-3 7-5. The result snapped a four-match losing streak for Kenin, who once ruled the Australian Open in 2020. The American is 14-12 on the hard court and 26-20 overall this year.

Our Maya Joint vs Sofia Kenin Prediction
At first glance, Maya Joint seems to be a clear-cut favorite because of her impressive 21-13 record on the hard court this year. However, Joint is coming into her showdown with the world’s No.30 Sofia Kenin with a 5-13 record against the WTA top-50 this year. Kenin is 8-6 against players ranked from 21 to 50 in the WTA world rankings.
The American has also beaten a much better first-round foe in Laura Siegemund, who reached the quarterfinals of the 2025 Wimbledon Open and the third round of the 2025 US Open. This will be a difficult match for both players, but the much-experienced and battle-tested Kenin emerges as a solid underdog pick at +125.
Our betting prediction for Sofia Kenin vs. Maya Joint: Sofia Kenin will win.
