Iga Swiatek vs Maria Sakkari: Prediction
As both the players have previously played against each other they are well aware of their opponents playing styles and strategies but as compared to her opponent, Maria seems to have an edge as she won all three matches against Iga. Sakkari is one of the strongest players on tour and will once again rely on her baseline power game to topple Swiatek. The Pole will have to rigorously defend and that just might be a little too much for her. Expect a very tight battle with Sakkari making it to the final.
Prediction: Maria Sakkari to win in 3 sets.
