Sofia Kenin vs Ons Jabeur Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Australian Open
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Both of these players are taking part in their first ever Grand Slam quarter final. Sofia Kenin is the 15th seed for the Australian Open and takes on the unseeded Ons Jabeur. Kenin won titles in Guangzhou, Mallorca and Hobart last year. On her way to victory in both Mallorca and Hobart, Kenin beat Jabeur. 2019 was a breakthrough year for Kenin with a series of big wins including beating Serena Williams, Ashleigh Barty, Elina Svitolina, Bianca Andreescu, Madison Keys and Belinda Bencic. In this tournament, Kenin has won four matches and only Coco Gauff in the fourth round has taken a set off her.
Ons Jabeur is making history as the first player from an Arabic country to reach the quarter finals of a Grand Slam. Jabeur began the tournament ranked 78th in the world but the live rankings have her at up to 46. The Tunisian has lost sets in two of her four wins in this tournament. Not so in the first round, when she beat the 12th seeded Johanna Konta. The second round saw her come from behind to defeat Caroline Garcia and that was followed up by a three-set win over Caroline Wozniacki. Jabeur beat her second seed in the fourth round when defeating 27th seeded Wang Qiang. Her previous best performance in a Grand Slam was getting to the third round in the 2017 French Open and 2019 US Open. This is the first time she has got past the first round in the Australian Open. Kenin is the form player here and can reach the last four.

Our Sofia Kenin vs Ons Jabeur Prediction
One of these players is on their way to their first ever Grand Slam semi-final. Sofia Kenin is the highest ranked of the two players and has had some memorable victories in the past year. She is in good form and takes on a player who has had most of her success on the lesser ITF Challenger series. Kenin has won three of her four previous matches against her opponent. After beating her on the way to two titles last year, she will be hoping history might repeat itself this week. Go for Kenin to get the win.
