Prediction: Ariina Sobolenko vs Barbora Krejcikova – May 7, 2026

Expected result: Sobolenko victory, recommended main bet: Sobolenko wins.

In her first match in Rome on May 7, Ariina Sobolenko will face Barbora Krejcikova. The Czech tennis player has returned to the circuit after an injury and has already passed one round. The current world number one will play her first match on local courts after a disappointing performance in Madrid, where she was eliminated in the quarterfinals. What to expect from this match and what bets should we focus on? – The answer is in our forecast.

Team analysis

Ariina Sobolenko has made the transition to clay in Madrid. Adapting to the new type of surface has not been easy for her. In the Spanish capital, Ariina won three matches, but failed to beat anyone for more than seven games, and in the quarterfinals suffered a surprising defeat against Baptiste (6-2, 2-6, 6-7). Now, the world number one is preparing for her start in Rome, where she has never won a trophy in her entire career, her best result being in 2024, when she reached the final. Last season, on home courts, Sobolenko bowed out in the quarterfinals, losing to Zheng Qinwen.

Barbora Krejcikova, for her part, suffered an injury in Dubai in mid-February and spent almost three months without competing. His return took place in Rome and was successful. The experienced Czech tennis player won in two sets in the first round against Jacquemot (6-2, 6-4). It should be noted that in Rome, Barbora had only competed twice before and had not made it past the round of 16.

Statistics

Forecast and bets

Our forecast is that Krejcikova will cover the handicap (+7) with a coefficient of 1.60. It cannot be said that Sobolenko showed a convincing game in his first clay court tournament in Madrid. He failed to achieve a landslide victory with a lead of more than seven games and, in the quarterfinals, suffered a surprising loss to Baptiste. Krejcikova, although she was out due to injury for a long time, made a successful return and won easily over Jacquemot. Of course, her next opponent is of a completely different level, but Barbora has the experience to avoid a crushing defeat, and Ariina has not yet reached her best form on clay.
