‘One step at a time, don’t get ahead of yourself’, this is what Ons Jabeur will be telling herself as she moves into the quarter-finals of the Charlton 2. Up against qualifier Alicia Parks, Jabeur exuded confidence and class as she dismantled her American opponent in straight sets 6-4 6-0.

There is no question that Jabeur has improved her game on clay massively. Last year, he had reached the fourth-round of the French Open and in the just concluded Charleston Open she had reached the Semi-finals. On the way she took out new up-coming talent Coco Gauff and also experienced clay court specialists like Alize Cornet.

Hibino plays her best tennis on clay. Last year she reached the Semi-finals of the clay court event in Strasbourg. On her way she beat Sloane Stephens in the round of thirty-two and Former French Open Champion Jeļena Ostapenko in the Quarter-finals. Following that, she made it to the second round of the French Open 2020. But, try as she might, Hibino will not be able to compete with Jabeur, who is in a different level of form at the moment. 

Match Prediction: Ons Jabeur will beat Nao Hibino in straight sets.
