Ons Jabeur vs Belinda Bencic: Preview
Ons Jabeur had a fantastic season this year as she clinched her first WTA title, made it to the quarter-finals of the 2021 Wimbledon and almost made it to the top-8 that participated at the 2021 WTA Finals had it not been for her untimely injury that played spoiled sport. Apart from becoming the first Arab woman to enter the Top-10, she will also become now the first Arab player to play in Mubadala.
Belinda Bencic had a good first half of the season where she managed to reach 2 tour finals but was unfortunate to miss out on the title. She became the first Swiss woman to win an Olympics gold when she won the singles gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held this year and since then reached 5 consecutive quarter-finals to end the season.
Ons Jabeur vs Belinda Bencic: Head-to-Head
This will be the second meeting between the duo who last met in the 3rd round of the 2021 Madrid Open, where Ons was forced to retire midway through the second set. Belinda leads the head-to-head tie 1-0.
Ons Jabeur vs Belinda Bencic: Prediction
Ons will come into the tie with a career outdoor hardcourt record of 132-98 and is 25-!2 on the surface this season while having a season record of 48-19 across all surfaces. Belinda will take the court with a career outdoor hardcourt record of 151-80 and is 22-9 on the surface this season and has a 37-20 record for the season across all surfaces.
Looking at these numbers and their recent form in the past few weeks, it should be a thrilling encounter given both the players have won titles this season. Belinda will be the favourite as she ended the season injury-free whereas Ons will be back after a small injury layoff and might not just be in the best of shapes but she certainly has the talent to turn the match on its head.
Prediction: Belinda Bencic to win in 3-sets.
