Undefeated on clay in the last seven matches, Mayar Sherif will try to pull off an upset over Yulia Putintseva in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Iasi Open.
Current Form:
Yulia Putintseva swept Alina Charaeva 6-3, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals of the 2026 Iasi Open. The Kazakh has won 4 of her last 5 matches and made it into back-to-back final eight stints in Bastad (WTA 125) and Iasi.
Mayar Sherif has won her last seven matches on clay following another masterful performance over Kaitlin Quevedo 6-3, 7-6. Sherif, who ruled a WTA 125 tourney in Contrexéville, France a week ago, finds herself three wins away from claiming another clay-court title.
The Matchup: Yulia Putintseva is seeded No.9 in this tournament and a favorite heading into this quarterfinal match. However, Mayar Sherif is an intriguing underdog option because of her 72.8 percent win rate on clay and current form.
