Iga Swiatek v Jelena Ostapenko Head to Head
Ostapenko leads Swiatek 2-0, last upsetting the Pole in the 2021 Indian Wells Open in straight sets.

Swiatek Off to a Blazing Start
Iga Swiatek was hardly challenged in her opening-round bout against Daria Kasatkina in Dubai. The 20-year-old needed just 67 minutes to take the match 6-1, 6-2. She won 80% of the points behind the first serve and won an incredible six games in a row to subdue the Russian.
The world number nine has had a fine season so far. Although she lacks silverware, it is only a matter of time she picks one up.
Swiatek has made it to the semifinal in Adelaide 1 and the Australian Open in January, ultimately losing to Ashleigh Barty and Danielle Collins.
Last season, she won the Adelaide International and Italian Open and was also a runner-up in the French Open doubles. Even though Swiatek is relatively young on the circuit, she has picked up enough experience from playing in two disciplines to go the distance in any event.

Ostapenko Routs Kenin
Jelena Ostapenko also had a good day at the office as she defeated Sofia Kenin – also with the same score of 6-1, 6-2. In fact, the Latvian needed only 54 minutes to pile on to Kenin’s miseries. She too enjoyed a pretty decent first-service game and dominated the game throughout.
The 24-year-old won the Roland Garros in 2017 and followed that stellar season with a couple of mediocre spells. It was only last season that she staged a comeback.
Ostapenko ended the year with a tally of 32-19 and a place in the top 30. She won the title in Eastbourne and was a runner-up in Luxembourg.
With that momentum, the current World No. 21 started the new season on a solid note. On the Australian hard courts, her best run came in the Slam where she fell to Barbora Krecjikova.
Last week, Ostapenko continued her tour in St. Petersburg where she made it to the semis before succumbing to the eventual champion Anett Kontaveit.
Swiatek v Ostapenko Prediction and Tip
Both players are in great form with Swiatek looking far better than Ostapenko. However, the Polish has already lost to Ostapenko twice and is likely to feel some sort of psychological pressure heading into this match.
This can very well go either way but we may be looking at a long affair.
Tip: Over 20.5 games: 4/5 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
