Barbora Krejcikova has overcome three straight three-set duels to reach the fourth round of the 2025 Cincinnati Open.
Facing a surging Jasmine Paolini, will the two-time Grand Slam winner still have the legs to pull off another upset?
Krejcikova reached the round of 16 in Cincinnati after topping three consecutive opponents in three sets. The Czech opened her campaign with a 6-4 4-6 6-0 win over Alycia Parks and then rallied from a set down to upset WTA top-20 Elina Svitolina 2-6 6-4 6-3 . In her third-round win over Iva Jovic, Krejcikova survived another three-set duel with Iva Jovic 6-4 3-6 6-2. Krejcikova has already accumulated six hours and 30 minutes of playing time in this tournament, raising concerns about her fitness ahead of a difficult matchup with Paolini.
The Italian, meanwhile, is cruising in this competition, recording straight-set wins over Maria Sakkari 7-6(2) 7-6(5) and Ashlyn Krueger 7-6(2) 6-1. Paolini has only spent three hours and 30 minutes on the court, thanks to a bye into the second round and faster wins in the previous two rounds.

Our Jasmine Paolini vs Barbora Krejcikova Prediction
Prediction: Barbora Krejcikova takes at least a set from Jasmine Paolini
Krejcikova, who boasts a 2-0 head-to-head record against Paolini, is an enticing option at +100, but I cannot ignore the fact that she has already played three consecutive three-set matches in this tournament. The Czech has been hampered by injuries this year, including the back injury that delayed her 2025 WTA season debut. The risk is just too high to go all in on Krejcikova, especially against a top-10 caliber player like Paolini.
Taking into consideration her history of dominance against Paolini, Krejcikova should perform well in her third career clash with the Italian. Krejcikova could perhaps take a set, and who knows, might actually win the match. But just to play safe, I’d rather take her at +1.5 sets, which still offers a good value at -130.
