Ons Jabeur vs Karolina Pliskova prediction
A tantalizing encounter between Jabeur and Pliskova is on the cards for fans in Nottingham. Both players have been in fine touch recently and are riding an incredible wave of momentum.
Jabeur has played lights out this week and has been a real force to be reckoned with. She's dropped a paltry eight games across her two matches and has faced just three break points in total. Her drop shots have been particularly effective and so has her net play.
Pliskova just like Jabeur, has been at the top of her game in Nottingham so far. She's been equally incredible on serve and has dominated from the backhand wing. She's not been afraid to take the risk either and has thrived from the baseline because of it.
Jabeur enters the contest the slight favorite given her recent form and her expertise on the surface. She's played some of the best tennis of her career on the grass and could be a real threat if Pliskova doesn't get going early. Approaching the net and keeping points short will be the call of order.
Pick: Ons Jabeur in three sets.
