The Swiss Doubles Silver Olympic medalist, Golubic is up against the Swedish, Rebecca Peterson in the Round of 16 at the Chicago Women’s Open 2021. She beat Maria Camila Serrano, 7-6, 6-3 in her opening round at this tournament.

She comes off having played and lost only 2 matches, 1 each at the Cincinnati Masters and Canadian Open before entering into the tournament. The 28-year-old desperately needs a win now to have a fantastic season ahead at the US Open 2021.

Rebecca, the 26-year-old Swedish booked her Round of 16 spots after beating Marie Bouzkova 7-6, 7-6 in her opening round here at the Chicago Open 2021.

The two players have met twice before and share 1 win each between them. They last met at the Rabat Open 2019 where Rebecca won 7-6, 6-3. However, Golubic had won their one and only Hardcourt encounter back in 2015 and that could give her some relief over the loss she suffered in their last encounter on clay.

They both lie at the same levels in terms of their skill, shot-making, and playing style. The match could go in the way of either of them, however, Golubic with still having the Victory tastes of Olympic could get the better of her opponent provided she maintains her level of play. The recent rise in her rankings, now at 45 over her opponent who stands at 59 could also be another determining factor for the match to go her way.

Prediction- Viktorija Golubic wins in 3 sets.
