It will be an All-American showdown at the Charleston Open on Wednesday, as Ashlyn Krueger takes on Katie Volynets in the second round of this WTA500 event from South Carolina.

Ashlyn Krueger will be listed as the favorite to advance over her fellow American in Charleston, although the odds aren’t packed with juice. At -135, Krueger holds the 15-seed in this event, but Katie Volynets put up a tremendous first-round effort to give her momentum. 

EJ Garr’s prediction for Ashlyn Krueger vs Katie Volynets features odds of -111, which can be found below.

Ashlyn Krueger vs Katie Volynets WTA Charleston Open Prediction: An American Showdown in Carolina

• Prediction: Ashlyn Krueger -1.5 Games
• Best Odds: -111
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on April 2, 2025. Odds may now differ.

Katie Volynets is probably still stunned after the first-round effort against Kathy Sebov in the opening round of the Charleston Open. It’s not every day that we see a complete sweep without dropping a single game, but Volynets did just that, taking out Sebov, 6 – 0, and 6 – 0!

Repeating that performance isn’t likely against favored Ashlyn Krueger, but it doesn’t get any better to build momentum into the second round.

Krueger has defeated Volynets twice on the WTA tour, and the pair recently met at Indian Wells on March 5. Volynets pushed Krueger to three sets, but it wasn’t enough to pull the upset. That loss was the third of four consecutive defeats for Volynets before entering this WTA500 event, so a comfortable win against Sebov was just what the Doctor ordered.

Getting past 332nd-ranked Sebov isn’t going to set off any fireworks, and I think this is the end of the line for the Walnut Creek, CA native.

Krueger found three wins in Miami last week, and among them was a big upset of Elena Rybakina. The Springfield, MO native and her Coach, Michael Joyce, will have a game plan put together to shut down Volynets, and we know his history in this game has helped quite a few women be successful on the WTA Tour.

Volynets excels on clay and will give Krueger a battle, but the Over 2.5 sets prop has odds of only +125. I want more value from that offer, but after the final shot is taken, Ashlyn Krueger will advance and cover the -1.5 games.

ASHLYN KRUEGER RECENT FORM

Ashlyn Krueger started the week ranked 34th on the WTA Tour, and found three wins in Brisbane before adding three more victories at Adelaide. The Lucky Loser role came in handy for Krueger in Adelaide, and the four wins in Abu Dhabi left her one win away from a title after losing the final to Belinda Bencic.

Krueger is 15 – 9 in 2025 and has earned three straight campaigns with a winning record since turning pro in 2021.

Ashlyn went 8 – 6 on clay last year and has a 30 – 16 record on the dirt over the last three seasons.

KATIE VOLYNETS RECENT FORM

Katie Volynets began the week ranked 78th on the WTA Tour, and snapped a four-match losing skid with the first-round in South Carolina yesterday.

Volynets went 7 – 8 on hardcourts before entering the clay swing, and the American went 18 – 6 on this surface last season.

KRUEGER VS VOLYNETS HTH –  STAT OF THE MATCH

Ashlyn Krueger is 2 – 0 from two meetings against Katie Volynets.

The pair just met at Indian Wells on March 5th, and Krueger won their first-round battle in three sets. 

During the 2022 campaign at Berkeley, Krueger won their first meeting in straight sets.

The winner of this match will face Emma Navarro or Hailey Baptiste in the third round of the Charleston Open.
