Berfu Cengiz and Teodora Kostovic will meet in the final of the Ankara Open on hard court on September 27. Cengiz, ranked 307th, holds a 1-0 head-to-head record against Kostovic, who sits at 159th. Both players arrive off four-match winning streaks, having played heavily over the past two weeks.
Kostovic has converted 70% of her matches over her last ten outings, compared to Cengiz's 60% mark in the same span. On hard court more broadly, Kostovic has posted a 60% win rate while Cengiz stands at 55%. The two have faced common opponents with mixed results; Cengiz beat Martyna Kubka while Kostovic lost to her, though Kostovic defeated Laura Pigossi in a match Cengiz could not win.
Cengiz operates as a counterpuncher, threading her game through reaction and positioning rather than aggressive setup play. Kostovic brings a more complete toolkit, comfortable dictating points from multiple positions on the court. The final asks whether Cengiz can sustain her streak through disciplined defense and timely striking, or whether Kostovic's range and court sense will prove too demanding a challenge to manage.
