The match is equally poised as both players are powerful hitters of the ball, and will look to dominate each other. However, Iga Swiatek has more variation to her game, given her quality on the net. In their last meeting at Wimbledon, Jabeur forced a lot of unforced errors from the Pole, which could be the strategy used by the Tunisian in the second round.

Match Prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in three sets
