No.2 seed Elina Svitolina will duke it out with Anna Blinkova of Russia in what is expected to be an action-packed second-round confrontation at the 2025 Upper Austria Ladies Linz. Svitolina is fresh off a quarterfinal stint at the Australian Open, where she racked up four impressive wins before bowing to the eventual champion, Madison Keys, in the final eight. Svitolina earned the No.2 seed in a tournament featuring top names like Karolina Muchova, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Elina Avanesyan. Blinkova booked her place in the second round with a 7-6(3) 6-2 win over Sinja Kraus of Austria. The Russian won 73 percent of her first serves and converted 4 of 5 break point chances to tame down a feisty challenge from the Austrian.

Our Anna Blinkova vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Elina Svitolina is set to carry her strong form from the Australian Open into this tournament in Linz, Austria. As a matter of fact, she’s my pick to win the whole tournament. Her performance at the Australian Open had brought back memories of her prime when she had held her own against tennis greats such as Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. Blinkova is a solid campaigner on the WTA Tour and would have a better chance of beating Svitolina if this match happened several months ago. However, she will soon realize that taking down an in-form Svitolina on the hard court, where she has a 68 percent win rate, is easier said than done. Our betting prediction for Elina Svitolina vs. Anna Blinkova: Svitolina will win 2-0.
