Jasmine Paolini vs Sofia Kenin prediction
Jasmine Paolini continued her strong form with a comfortable win over Anastasija Sevastova in the second-round. The Italian headed into this WTA 1000 with confidence after her strong performances at the Billie Jean King Cup, and she was on form here as she wrapped up a 6-1 6-3 victory after an hour and 10 minutes. She has now won her last four matches.
Sofia Kenin is her opponent in the third-round. Kenin defeated Polina Kudermetova in straight sets to advance. It was a dominant win for the American, who wasn’t broken on serve and conceded just two break points in total.
Kenin dominates the head-to-head, winning all three of their matches, with two being on hard court. She has not lost a set against Paolini and comfortably beat her in the third-round of the Dubai Championships earlier this year. Despite that history, Paolini is performing strongly at the moment and is the favourite to win.
