Jasmine Paolini of Italy will go up against Maria Sakkari of Greece in a fascinating second-round clash at the 2025 Cincinnati Open.
Paolini will attempt to bounce back from a disappointing second-round exit in Montreal at the 2025 Canadian Open. The top-ranked Italian has gone 1-2 in her last three matches, with the two defeats coming from Kamila Rakhimova 6-4, 4-6, 4-6 in the second round of the Wimbledon Open and Aoi Ito 6-2, 5-7 6(5)-7.
Sakkari hurdled her first test, edging Rakhimova 6-3 3-6 6-2 in the first round of the 2025 Cincinnati Open. The Greek opened her North American hard-court campaign with a quarterfinal run in Washington before picking up a win at the Canadian Open. Sakkari is 9-12 in hard-court matches this year.

Our Jasmine Paolini vs Maria Sakkari Prediction
Prediction: Despite dealing with some issues about her form and 1-2 record against Maria Sakkari, Jasmine Paolini remains a solid bet to cover a -2.5-game spread against Sakkari, who has a dismal 1-7 record against the WTA top-10 this year.
Although there’s no denying that the Greek has been playing much better tennis since the tour shifted into the North American hard-court swing, Sakkari is still having a hard time taking down elite players. Paolini, a career 57 percent winner on the hard court, owns a 12-7 record on the surface this year and a 22-12 record against the WTA top-100.
As bad as things have been for Paolini in the past two months, she is still a force to be reckoned with in this tournament, especially if she gets into her groove. Against Sakkari, Paolini will prove to everybody that she’s just on another tier, even in her current form.
