Ons Jabeur v Marie Bouzkova Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came at the 2022 Wimbledon where Jabeur had defeated Bouzkova in three sets.

Jabeur Comes Through in Scrappy Battle with Noskova
Jabeur has had fitness concerns in the tournament, having been hit by the flu but that hasn’t stopped her from doing what he wants to – play competitive tennis and win matches.
And while she did take her time against Linda Noskova in the second round, Jabeur was able to summon up a lot of her reserves to carve out a three-set win over her opponent.
The Tunisian was on court for two hours and 12 minutes and dropped her serve four times before clinching a place in the third round with a 7-6 (7), 4-6, 6-3 victory. Noskova did have her chances, missing seven break-points, again in the opening tie-breaker and when she then took a 3-2 lead in the final set with a break of serve.
The 2022 finalist Jabeur fought back to win the next four games and with it the match to make it to the third round.
She starts off a 4/6 (bet365) favourite to overcome Bouzkova here.

Bouzkova Routs Martic
While Bouzkova was a favourite going into her second round encounter against Petra Martic, there wasn’t much to choose between the two. At least on paper.
Bouzkova made it look otherwise. Having overcome Ashlyn Krueger in the opening round in straight sets, Bouzkova repeated the dose on Martic but more vitally did that with so much ease that her injury issues from Cincinnati seem to be behind her.
In a match lasting just 79 minutes, Bouzkova dropped a mere three games and broke her opponent five times in her win.
Where Bouzkova was greatly aided was her opponent’s unforced errors count which read a mighty 28 as opposed to the 12 she herself hit, even as both players had 19 winners to their name.
Against Jabeur, Bouzkova will need to make the play happen more consistently though. She is 6/5 (with bet365) to win this.
Jabeur v Bouzkova Prediction and Tip
Jabeur will be a favourite and while the bookmakers haven’t quite put her on a pedestal we think she would be able to snuff out her opponent’s challenge quickly.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Jabeur to win: 4/6 (with bet365)
- High Risk Tip: Jabeur to win in straight sets: 7/4 (with bet365)
