Iga Swiatek vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction & Picks - WTA Cincinnati Open

Prediction published on 8/18/25, 2:57 PM  by Tyler Doty in Tennis Picks

After her disappointment in Montreal and an early exit (round of 16), Iga Swiatek set the record straight at the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati. The Polish player is riding high on her victory at Wimbledon, and in this tournament, the world number 3 left her opponents with nothing but crumbs. She defeated Ana Potapova, Marta Kostyuk, Sorana Cirstea, Anna Kalinskaya, and Elena Rybakina without losing a single set, reminiscent of the period of dominance the Polish player enjoyed less than two years ago.

The No. 3 seed is in great form, with 14 wins in her last 15 matches and only four sets conceded during that run. Suffice to say that Iga Swiatek is brimming with confidence going into the final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Cincinnati, where she will face Jasmine Paolini.

Jasmine Paolini, who has struggled since the start of the summer, is waking up just a few days before the start of the US Open. The Italian will be playing in her second final of the season and hopes to see the same outcome as in Rome in May. In the United States, the Italian has not had an easy task with a very tough draw.

But Maria Sakkari, Ashlyn Krueger, Barbora Krejcikova, Coco Gauff, and Veronika Kudermetova have not found a way to defeat Jasmine Paolini in Cincinnati, despite strong resistance from her last two opponents. But now she will have to defeat her nemesis, Iga Swiatek, against whom the Italian has lost all five of their previous encounters.
