Tennis predictions, July 14, 2026: Buse vs. Tsitsipas, Kalinina vs. Badosa

A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Ignacio Buse goes up against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the Gstaad round of 32. Stefanos Tsitsipas limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 4 wins in 10. Ignacio Buse has dropped 2 straight and sits at 4-6 over the last ten.

The ledger favors Ignacio Buse, 1-0 across their 1 meetings with Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Tsitsipas's 75% behind the first serve (against 70.4% for Buse) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Tsitsipas fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Tuesday's Iasi round of 32 pits Anhelina Kalinina against Paula Badosa on clay. Paula Badosa has won 5 in a row and 7 of the last 10 overall. Anhelina Kalinina limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 6 wins in 10.

The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.

Badosa's 65.2% behind the first serve (against 60.8% for Kalinina) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Badosa is exactly that — a lean.

Simona Waltert leads the head-to-head 2-0, and history has a way of mattering in matchups like this one. On clay specifically it reads 2-0 Waltert — worth more than the overall number this week.

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Kawa is exactly that — a lean.
