THE PREDICTION
World number five Ons Jabeur overcame Anhelina Kalinina in three tight sets on Tuesday to return to tour with a vengeance after losing a second-successive Wimbledon final. The 28-year-old has finished runner-up in three of the last five Grand Slams as she continues to improve on tour and she reached one of her main career goals last season by becoming the first Arab player to qualify for the WTA Finals. World number 22 Donna Vekic beat a resurgent Jennifer Brady in straight sets on Tuesday before coming back from a set down to beat Victoria Azarenka in the second round for a strong set of results. The 27-year-old has found a new lease of life under part-time coach Pam Shriver and she looks set to break her career-high WTA world ranking of 19th, first set in 2019, if she can maintain this level over the hardcourt swing.
This is a very tough call after Jabeur’s marathon opener but the Tunisian is fit enough to come back strong for this potential thriller. Jabeur leads their head-to-head 3-1, all on hardcourts, but the pair have not met since 2019 to suggest a new-and-improved version of Jabeur stands a good chance. Back the fifth seed to edge through outright but consider at least a set inside an accumulator.
