Garbine Muguruza vs Ons Jabeur: Preview
Garbine Muguruza advances into her 4th final of the season as she receives a walkover from 2020 Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Marketa Vondrousova as the Czech Republican could not find herself fully fit to compete. Garbine had straight-set victories in the 2nd round and the quarter-finals while her Round of 16 match against Victoria Azarenka also ended up with Muguruza getting a walkover.
Ons Jabeur reaches her 3rd final of the season as she also has an early wrap to her semi-final against Elena Rybakina. Rybakina had to forfeit the match due to an untimely injury in the second set when the scorecard read 6-4, 3-2 in favour of the Tunisian. Ons has dropped just 1 set this week in Chicago, during her 3rd round match against Jessica Pegula.
Garbine Muguruza vs Ons Jabeur: Head to Head
This will be the 3rd meeting between the two who last met in the 3rd round of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships where Ons won the match in 3-sets and level the head-to-head tie as Muguruza had won their 1st meeting in 3-sets at the 2020 Hobart International. The head-to-head tie is tied at 1-1.
Garbine Muguruza vs Ons Jabeur: Prediction
Ons will come into the tie with a career Hardcourt record of 128-96 and is 21-10 on the surface for the season while having an overall season record of 44-16 across all surfaces. Muguruza will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 219-103 and is 29-9 on the surface this season while being 36-14 for the season across all surfaces.
With both the players chasing their 2nd title of the season, it promises to be a thrilling encounter between the two. However, given her track record and better experience in the finals, Muguruza seems the favourite for the title but Jabeur can surely cause some disappointment as she has been enjoying quite some success for herself as well.
Prediction: Garbine Muguruza to win in three-sets.
