Our Iva Jovic vs Iga Swiatek Prediction
Key Stats: Iva Jovic has saved 21 of 28 break points and converted 11 of 19 break chances in Beijing.
What to Expect: Jovic will push Swiatek to the limit in this first-ever encounter. The American teenager terrorized opponents as a returner in Guadalajara, converting 48.5 percent of 33 break chances on her way to the title. That vastly evolving return game continues to be a weapon in Beijing for Jovic, who already converted 11 break points in just two matches.
Jovic looks like a valuable underdog moneyline option at +171, but her 1-3 record in fourth-round matches should discourage bettors from going all in. Nevertheless, the American rising star appears poised to put together a stellar showing against the former world No.1.
This match will easily exceed 23 games.
Fearless Forecast: Iga Swiatek wins 6-4, 3-6, 7-5
