Ons Jabeur vs. Aryna Sabalenka: Match Prediction

This will be an exciting matchup as it is Sabalenka’s turn to exact revenge for their Wimbledon semi-finals. Jabeur had won at Wimbledon in straight sets. However, Sabalenka may have a slight advantage as she is better on hard courts. Jabeur, on the other hand, will be hungry for a victory after her devastating Wimbledon loss.

Prediction: Aryna Sabalenka in three sets
