Yeonwoo Ku vs Karolina Pliskova Prediction
This WTA Roland Garros qualifying match features former World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova against the lower-ranked Yeonwoo Ku. Pliskova is the strong favorite due to her vast experience, superior clay court form in 2026, and Ku's recent struggles.
Yeonwoo Ku host Karolina Pliskova at Paris, France on Tuesday, part of the 2026 WTA - Roland Garros season. ATP/WTA rankings, surface form, and head-to-head record are factored into the model alongside the prediction below.
ATS PREDICTION
Karolina Pliskova Win
Predicted: 2-0
⚡90%
Karolina Pliskova, a former World No. 1, holds a significant advantage in experience and current form on clay, boasting a 9-3 record in 2026. Her powerful game is well-suited for Roland Garros, where she reached the semifinals in 2017. Yeonwoo Ku, ranked significantly lower at World No. 203, has struggled recently with a 3-8 record in 2026 and no wins on clay this year. Despite Pliskova's injury history, her recent results indicate she is fit and competitive, making her the overwhelming favorite in this qualifying round match.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Pliskova -7.5 games (-7.5)
85%
Given Karolina Pliskova's superior ranking, extensive Grand Slam experience, and strong 9-3 clay court record in 2026, she is expected to dominate Yeonwoo Ku. Ku's recent form is poor, with five consecutive losses and a 0-1 clay record this year, indicating a significant gap in current performance levels. Pliskova's ability to dictate play with her serve and groundstrokes should allow her to win comfortably in straight sets, covering the -7.5 game handicap with relative ease.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Under 19.5
80%
Karolina Pliskova is heavily favored to win this match in straight sets, likely conceding very few games to the lower-ranked and out-of-form Yeonwoo Ku. Pliskova's expected dominance, combined with Ku's recent struggles, suggests a quick match with minimal games played. A 2-0 victory for Pliskova, potentially with scores like 6-2, 6-2 or 6-3, 6-1, would comfortably keep the total games under 19.5.
