Jasmine Paolini

Paolini failed to qualify for the play-offs at the Open after beating Rybakina in straight sets and losing to Sabalenka and Zheng in straight sets. The Italian then played three matches at the Billie Jean King Cup, where she was stronger than Uchijima and Sramkova, but weaker than Swiatek. In December, Jasmine played two exhibition matches in the United Arab Emirates and lost both to Swiatek and Andreeva. In the current tournament, the Italian has two wins, against Bencic and Paquet, both in straight sets. The match against the latter lasted one hour and one minute, Paolini won 6-0, 6-2. Jasmine made two aces, one double fault, won 72% of the points on her first serve and 64% on her second. 

Karolina Muchova

Mukhova finished last season with tournaments in China. She reached the final in Beijing, losing to Coco Gauff in straight games. In Ningbo, she reached the semifinals but was eliminated in the first set by Mirra Andreeva. In Australia, Mukhova beat Helgo 6-2, 6-2 before losing to Swiatek 3-6, 4-6 in straight sets. The match against Iga lasted one hour and 57 minutes, Karolina had three aces and four double faults, won 55% of the points on her first serve and 46% on her second.

Expert Betting Tips

On the one hand, Mukhova has a 100% record in her matches against Paolini. On the other hand, Jasmine has improved her game over the last six months, as the rankings show. The Italian has two solid wins in Australia, while Mukhova has already lost a set to Swiatek. We think the bookmakers are underestimating the top Italian and that Jasmine will not only give the Czech a good fight, but also take an important win over her opponent.
