Current Form:
Nikola Bartunkova will try to build more momentum ahead of the US Open after reaching the third round of the 2026 Canadian Open. The promising Czech picked up wins over Bianca Andreescu and Clara Tauson in straight sets before succumbing to top-10 Amanda Anisimova in the round of 32.
Alina Charaeva qualified for the main draw of the 2026 Cincinnati Open after receiving a walkover win from Alina Korneeva, who withdrew from the final qualifying match due to injury. Charaeva is 4-4 on the hard court and 30-19 overall in 2026.
The Matchup: Charaeva defeated Bartunkova in three sets, 6-7, 6-2, 7-6, in their first encounter at the 2026 Madrid Open. However, Bartunkova was a significant favorite at -259 because the hard court favors her hard-hitting, attack-oriented style of play.
