Seventh seed Jasmine Paolini and the unseeded Maria Sakkari will square it out in the second round of the Cincinnati Open. This is their second meeting this season and fourth overall. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Jasmine Paolini has witnessed a dip in form recently and will be keen to arrest this form with a strong run in Cincinnati. The Italian has managed just three wins in her last eight fixtures.
A winner of 28 matches so far this year, the world number nine has suffered early-round setbacks in Berlin, Wimbledon and Montreal. Paolini defeated Sakkari in straight sets during her title-winning campaign in Dubai last season.
Maria Sakkari has the head-to-head advantage in this series, having won twice. Both of her victories have been on clay, most recently in this year’s Madrid Open.
She will hope for another win as she plots a season turnaround following a lacklustre first half of the campaign. The Greek star has compiled a 20-22 record with 12 of those setbacks coming on hard courts. She has won nine times on the surface.
Her latest victory was the hard-fought 2-1 success over the qualifier Kamila Rakhimova in the first round. The former world number three has moved up to 63rd in the live ranking.

Our Jasmine Paolini vs Maria Sakkari Prediction
Our prediction for Jasmine Paolini v Maria Sakkari is that Jasmine Paolini wins the match. Paolini has been a pale shadow of herself in recent weeks and has won just three of her last eight fixtures. Nonetheless, we have her as a firm favourite to win this tie.
This is because, despite her recent struggles, she has been one of the top performers in the WTA this season. She has won 28 matches, with 12 coming on hard courts. Sakkari, on the other hand, has been lacklustre and so far has lost more matches than she has won. Most of her defeats have come on hard courts, which is where Paolini has a 100% record against her.
