TennisSection previews the 2023 Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers match featuring Marta Kostyuk vs Marketa Vondrousova on Friday, April 14, 2023.
Kostyuk vs Vondrousova Match Preview and Prediction
Can Marta Kostyuk draw the first blood for her country in this Billie Jean King Cup qualifier? Or will Marketa Vondrousova keep up her outstanding record in this team competition?
Marta Kosyuk will be Ukraine’s flag bearer at the 2023 Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers, taking on Czech lefty Marketa Vondrousova on the clay in Turkey. Obviously, with the current tension back home, this tie was to be played at a neutral venue, in Antalya. Kostyuk has only lost one singles match in this competition, way back in 2018, against Ashleigh Barty.
Marketa Vondrousova has a near-perfect record at the Billie Jean King Cup singles rubbers. She has won eight of nine matches and will be tasked to take down Ukraine’s No. 2 player in this one. Vondrousova is 13-6 for the season having reached the round of 16 in both Indian Wells and Miami.
Kostyuk vs Vondrousova Prediction and Pick
Marta Kostyuk and Marketa Vondrousova have not played each other at any level, with this Billie Jean King Cup qualifier match being their first meeting. It’s their first match on clay this season, but Vondrousova will settle much quicker. She is the superior player on this surface owing to her versatility and adaptability. Add to her sizzling ability to play the most perfect drop shot, then Kosytuk will be really up against it in this rubber.
