Elina Avanesyan vs Alina Charaeva Prediction SP Open - Sao Paulo · Sep 17, 2026

Analysis

Elina Avanesyan arrives in Sao Paulo with the cleaner form line: her two most recent outings, on 14 and 15 September, both finished 2-0 against Julia Riera, so she has not conceded a set this week. Alina Charaeva has also won twice in the last two days, but both wins over Xiaodi You went the full 2-1 distance, meaning she has spent noticeably more time on court before this second-round meeting. Both players share a common reference point in late August, when each was beaten 0-2 - Avanesyan by Andrea Lazaro Garcia on 24 August and Charaeva by Susan Bandecchi on 25 August - so neither comes in on a long unbeaten run. Avanesyan is the more established performer of the pair and her baseline game travels well to slower, higher-bouncing conditions, which is where her extra depth of shot should tell. With no head-to-head data available between them, the read is form and efficiency rather than history, and both point to the first player. The likeliest outcome is a straight-sets win, with a Charaeva set grab the main alternative.
