Czech qualifier Katerina Siniakova will face American lucky loser Iva Jovic in the fourth round of the 2025 Wuhan Open on Thursday, October 9. Here’s our Katerina Siniakova vs Iva Jovic prediction. This preview will also include a Katerina Siniakova vs Iva Jovic pick.

Katerina Siniakova vs Iva Jovic Preview

Katerina Siniakova is coming off a straight-sets win over Australian teenager Maya Joint. The match took 16 games to decide and lasted an hour and 23 minutes. The first set was slightly competitive, with both players breaking each other multiple times. But Joint dropped her serve far too many times and Siniakova won the set 6-3.

The Czech was much more consistent in the second set, where she broke Joint twice in the early going and took a 5-0 lead. By the time Joint got on the board, Siniakova held in her next game to round off a 6-3, 6-1 victory. Siniakova accounted for one ace and 2 double faults. Siniakova landed 55% of first serves in play and won 74% of first serve points (23/31). Siniakova won 36% of second serve points (9/25) and saved six of eight break points.

Siniakova has not lost a set in Wuhan. This is her fourth straight win. She had won two matches in qualifying and had beaten Diana Shnaider in the first round of the main draw. Siniakova’s best run in this tournament was in 2018 when she made the quarterfinals, can she replicate it this week?

Iva Jovic entered the main draw in Wuhan as a lucky loser and took that chance with both hands as she stunned Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in straight sets. The 17-year-old American settled a tight first set 6-4. Just like the first set, Jovic could not serve for the second set on her serve at 5-3, and needed to break Bouzas Maneiro in the 10th game for the victory.

Jovic hit 1 ace and 3 double faults in the victory. She landed 50% of first serves in play and won 67% of first serve points (16/24). Jovic won 58% of second serve points (14/24) and saved one of four break points in the match. Jovic improves to 37-16 for the season at all levels.

Siniakova and Jovic have not met at any level before this.

Katerina Siniakova vs Iva Jovic Prediction

I’m going with wily and crafty Siniakova again. She’s got that unconventional game that rushes the young players into making errors and questionable shot selection. That happened against Joint and I could see Siniakova emulating it against Jovic, who will be drawn into uncomfortable patterns of play that she might struggle to solve.
