THE PREDICTION
Petra Kvitova’s recent middling form has been more about several niggling injuries than a general downturn and the 31-year-old has looked in good shape this week in Cincinnati. The world number 12 is a two-time Grand Slam champion and played like one in two straight-set wins over Madison Keys and Veronika Kudermetova in the first two rounds, though a much tougher challenge awaits next. World number 22 Ons Jabeur knocked out the sixth seed Iga Swiatek on Wednesday, beating the powerful Pole for a second time this summer after winning in three sets against Swiatek at Wimbledon last month. The 26-year-old won her first WTA title at the Birmingham Classic back in June and has since maintained a really high level of play that is gaining her fans everywhere she goes.
Jabeur will have to take a set off Petra Kvitova for the first time here, let alone beat the Czech for a first time if she is to reach yet another quarter-final. The Tunisian is the player in better overall form right now but if Kvitova is staying fit this week in Cincinnati she could be a dark horse for the title. Take this match to see three sets and leave the winner up to chance.
