Mirra Andreeva and Marta Kostyuk face off for a Cincinnati quarterfinal place. Both have delivered strong performances this week—Kostyuk rallied past Stephens, while Andreeva dominated Tjen. Their head-to-head in 2026 is 2-1 in Kostyuk's favor, but Andreeva's current momentum—including a record for teenage WTA 1000 wins and a recent French Open title—makes her the slight favorite. Expect another tight battle, but Andreeva’s form may tip the scales.

Kostyuk's Best Season Yet Gets Another Test

Marta Kostyuk defeated Sloane Stephens in straight sets to book her place in the fourth round in Cincinnati, 7-5, 7-5. She trailed by a break in both sets before fighting back to win the match. 

This is her second Round of 16 appearance in Cincinnati. She lost at this stage to Iga Swiatek in 2024 and will now be looking to reach her first quarterfinal here. 

The Ukrainian has enjoyed an incredible season so far. Apart from being sidelined for two months due to injury and suffering a couple of early exits after her return, she has posted impressive results in most of her other tournaments, including five semifinal-or-better runs. 

Those results helped her achieve a career-high ranking of No. 11 a few months ago.

Mirra Andreeva Chases a Second Cincinnati Quarterfinal

Mirra Andreeva defeated Janice Tjen in straight sets to reach the fourth round in Cincinnati, 6-1, 7-6. She did not lose her serve and won 86% of her first-serve points during the match. 

This is the first time she has won multiple matches on tour since her title-winning campaign at the French Open a few months ago, and she will now be looking to reach her second quarterfinal in Cincinnati. 

This is also her 54th career win in WTA 1000 events, the most by a teenager since the format's introduction in 2009, surpassing Coco Gauff. 

Like her opponent, she raised her level during the clay swing, winning 22 of 25 matches. She has posted eight quarterfinal-or-better results this year, although none have come in North America.
