Iga Swiatek vs Jelena Ostapenko: Preview
Swiatek is off to a good start in the 2022 season. The Pole advanced to the semifinals in Adelaide, where she lost to Ashleigh Barty, after defeating high-profile players like Leylah Fernandez and Victoria Azarenka. In addition, the former Roland Garros champion had a solid performance at the Australian Open. She was defeated by Danielle Collins. This will be her first tournament after the Australian Open. She climbed up the ranking ladder to no. 4 after the tournament. The 20-year old is predicted to carry forward her exceptional form into Dubai Duty-Free Tennis Championships 2022.
Jelena Ostapenko had a stretch of inconsistency in 2021 that persisted into 2022. The Latvian tennis player hasn’t earned any notable victories this year. She started the season with a loss in the Sydney International and was knocked out of the Australian Open third round in three sets by Barbora Krejcikova. She did step up her level at the previous tournament last week in Saint Petersburg, where she reached the semi-finals before losing to Anett Kontaveit.
Iga Swiatek vs Jelena Ostapenko: Head to Head

Iga Swiatek vs Jelena Ostapenko: Prediction
Despite the fact that Ostapenko has the head-to-head edge, Swiatek hasn’t had a drop in her level this year, and this tournament doesn’t expect it either. Ostapenko, on the other hand, hasn’t had a particularly good year. She did, however, have a positive previous performance, and if she can carry that into this event, she’ll be a formidable rival. Swiatek, on the other hand, has a good shot at winning, as her form this season has been impeccable.
Prediction: Swiatek to win in three sets.
