Petra Kvitova vs Ons Jabeur prediction

Petra Kvitova picked up her first win since returning to the tour as a new mum to set up a blockbuster second round clash with Ons Jabeur. 

The Czech made her comeback in Austin but endured a five-match losing run until she took down Irina Camelia Begu 7-5 6-1 in the first round here. 

The 35-year-old will now meet former finalist and 27th seed Jabeur for the seventh time.

The Tunisian trails 2-4 in the match-up but should have too much variety and movement for her undercooked opponent this time around.
