Sloane Stephens vs Lisa Pigato Prediction

ATS PREDICTION

Lisa Pigato Win

Predicted: 2-1

60%

Sloane Stephens, a former French Open finalist, brings significant Grand Slam experience and a strong career clay record (131-81). However, she is currently ranked No. 361 and is recovering from a right foot stress fracture, impacting her 2026 season (6-10 record). Lisa Pigato, ranked No. 138, is in excellent form with a 27-9 record in 2026, including a strong 19-6 on clay and a recent WTA 125K title. Despite Stephens' pedigree, Pigato's superior current form, fitness, and momentum on clay make her the favorite in this qualifying second-round match.

SPREAD PREDICTION

Pigato -3.5 games (-3.5)

68%

Lisa Pigato's strong 2026 clay-court form (19-6 record) and higher ranking (No. 138) suggest she will control more games against Sloane Stephens, who is still recovering from a significant foot injury and has a challenging 2026 season (6-10 record). While Stephens' experience might keep sets competitive, Pigato's consistency and fitness are likely to result in her winning more games overall, even if the match extends to three sets.

TOTAL PREDICTION

Over 22.5

65%

The prediction of a 2-1 victory for Lisa Pigato indicates a competitive match that is expected to go the distance, involving three sets.
