Marta Kostyuk vs Mirra Andreeva Head-to-Head

Both players are top-tier clay-court talents in different ways. Kostyuk plays a heavy-topspin baseline game built on first-strike forehands and exceptional movement — the kind of game that rewards her on slow, high-bounce clay. Andreeva, three years younger, plays a more variety-based game with elite court coverage and tactical maturity beyond her years.

The Madrid 2026 final was their first significant meeting at a Masters-level event. Kostyuk's ability to construct longer rallies and pull Andreeva off-court produced the title-deciding result. Andreeva, by contrast, was the more proactive shot-maker, but Kostyuk's patience and clay-specific shot tolerance proved decisive in the high-altitude Madrid conditions.

Kostyuk leads 2-1 in a rivalry between two of the tour's fastest risers. She won their Brisbane meeting in January, Andreeva answered emphatically in the Roland-Garros 2026 semi-final on her way to the title. Kostyuk arrives as Madrid 2026 champion, Andreeva as a major winner: expect tight prices, and treat surface as the tiebreaker — Andreeva on clay, Kostyuk on hard.
