AI-powered prediction

Donna Vekic host Mia Ristic at Istanbul, Türkiye on Friday, part of the 2026 WTA - Istanbul Open season. ATP/WTA rankings, surface form, and head-to-head record are factored into the model alongside the prediction below.

ATS PREDICTION

Mia Ristic Win

Predicted: 2-0

68%

Donna Vekic, currently ranked World No. 89, holds a significant advantage over Mia Ristic, who is ranked World No. 267. Vekic's career-high ranking of World No. 17 demonstrates her proven ability at a much higher level of competition. While specific head-to-head or recent surface form data is unavailable, the substantial ranking disparity strongly favors Vekic. This early-round match at the Istanbul Open is expected to be a straightforward victory for the more experienced and higher-ranked player.

SPREAD PREDICTION

Vekic -5.5 games (-5.5)

68%

Given Donna Vekic's considerable ranking advantage (World No. 89 vs No. 267), she is expected to dominate this match. Her superior experience and consistent performance at a higher level suggest she will win comfortably, likely dropping few games per set. A spread of -5.5 games is a reasonable expectation for Vekic to cover against a much lower-ranked opponent in an early tournament round.

TOTAL PREDICTION

Under 20.5

68%

With Donna Vekic heavily favored to win in straight sets, the total number of games is likely to remain low. A typical 2-0 victory for a strong favorite against a significantly weaker opponent often results in set scores like 6-3, 6-2 or 6-4, 6-3, which would keep the total games well under 20.5. Ristic's lower ranking suggests she will struggle to win enough games to push the total higher.
