Anna Karolina Schmiedlova v Jasmine Paolini Head to Head
Paolini has a 3-0 lead from their previous battles.
All three of those meetings were in 2018 with the Italian winning in the Round of 16 in Shenzhen, Round of 32 in Budapest and Round of 16 in Prague. What’s more, Paolini is yet to lose a set against Schmiedlova, and was dominant in all her wins over the Slovak.

In what was a dominating performance, the 26-year-old Slovak defeated the 24-year-old Briton 6-4, 6-0.
Winning 64 of 107 points in the match, Schmiedlova converted five of nine break point chances while got broken just once and saved two break points in the one-hour-and-24-minute contest.
A three-time winner on the tour, Schmiedlova, who reached a career-high ranking of 26 in 2015, reached the quarterfinal in Guadalajara last week. Beginning the tournament with wins over fifth seed Nao Hibino of Japan and Renata Zarazua of Mexico, she fell to second seed Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic in the last eight stage.
A five-time finalist on the tour, Schmiedlova made the main draw of the 2021 Australian Open as a lucky loser and won her first round match against Japan’s Mayo Hibi before falling to Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur. She had also won her first round match at the Gippsland Trophy, before losing in the second round to Ekaterina Alexandrova.
The Slovak, who won her first two titles in Katowice and Bucharest in 2015, won her last in Bogota in 2018. Her last final appearance was in Hobart in 2019.

Paolini Scores Fourth Come-from-Behind Win in 2021
Facing Schmiedlova in the next round will be Italy’s Jasmine Paolini, who rebounded from a set down to defeat ninth seed Nao Hibino of Japan in the first round on Monday.
The Italian, ranked No. 100 in the world, saved five of eight break points and converted five of seven to beat the World No. 81, 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 in an hour and 54 minutes.
This was Paolini’s fourth come-from-behind win this year. The first of those was against China’s Qiang Wang in the second round of the Gippsland Trophy. Then at the Adelaide International, the Italian right-hander rallied against American Asia Muhammad to win the first qualifying round and followed the pattern in the second qualifying round against Australia’s Astra Sharma.
The 25-year-old, who lost her first round matches to Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in Abu Dhabi and Karolina Pliskova at the Australian Open, has also been involved in two other close three-setters this year.
Having reached the third round of the Gippsland Trophy, she went down fighting to Karolina Muchova after forcing the decider, and then in Adelaide, she lost her first round match against Cori Gauff despite winning the second set in a tie-break.
Schmiedlova v Paolini Prediction and Tip
Given Paolini’s dominance over Schmiedlova, she could well be in with a chance to overturn the odds of 6/4 for her win.
Tip: Paolini to win: 6/4 (bet365)
