Ons Jabeur vs Clara Tauson prediction
Although Ons Jabeur might start as the favorite against Clara Tauson, one can't rule out a surprise from the Dane given the form she has been in.
Tauson's blistering baseline game has been a big problem for her opponents so far in the French capital. Her deep baseline play has paid dividends and she only seems to get better with every passing game. She has been good on serve too, attacking at every given opportunity.
Jabeur, meanwhile, has been brilliant for most bits so far except for a minor hiccup in the second round. She has been firing from both wings and has looked dangerous on serve as well. Her net play has been commendable too and she could be a real force to be reckoned with if she plays the same way in the business end.
Fans can expect a gripping contest between two players in top form currently. The winner could boil down to who dictates play from the back of the court better.
Pick: Jabeur in three sets.
