Ons Jabeur vs Bianca Andreescu prediction
Although Bianca Andreescu has a formidable record, this match may provide an opportunity for Jabeur to add another victory to their head-to-head. Possessing a strong baseline game and the ability to change the pace of rallies, Jabeur is well suited to the grass courts of Wimbledon. However, Andreescu's own powerful groundstrokes and versatile game could pose a challenge for Jabeur.
Having previously triumphed over Andreescu in Montreal, Jabeur may carry some confidence into this match, aiming to leverage that win. However, Andreescu, coming off a hard-fought victory over the 26th seed, is expected to have a boost in confidence as well.
Andreescu, known for her relentless approach, may need to control the pace of the game to neutralize Jabeur's varied play. If she manages to keep her unforced errors low, she may turn the match in her favor.
Pick: Jabeur to win in three sets
