Ons Jabeur continues her form of Madrid Open as she picks up a hattrick of straight-set wins to come into the quarter-finals in Rome for the first time having not crossed the first-round stage before this season. Ons defeated Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-2 to pick her 15th win on Clay this season. The win over Yulia was Jabeur’s 9th consecutive win on the trot with the Tunisian now looking for her 10th.

Maria Sakkari looks to return to form after a brief spell of difficult results in the past couple of weeks. Having received a first-round bye, Maria beat Ekaterina Alexandrova and then overcame Coco Gauff 6-4, 7-5 in the third round to reach the quarter-finals in Rome for the second time having made a semi-final appearance in 2019.

Ons will come into the tie with a career claycourt record of 135-54 and is 15-2 on the surface this season while having a season record of 23-7 across all surfaces. Maria will take the court with a career claycourt record of 153-87 and is 3-2 on the surface this season while having a 19-8 season record so far.

Looking at these numbers and considering their form in the 2022 season, Ons looks the favourite going into the match given her supreme form as compared to the inconsistency of the Greek. Maria has however shown her ability on Clay and can certainly turn the tie on its head but the chances of it remain slim.

Prediction: Ons Jabeur to win in straight-sets.
