Current Form;
No.6 seed Jasmine Paolini of Italy aims to rebound from a third-round exit at the 2026 Australian Open. The Italian posted emphatic wins over Aliaksandra Sasnovic 6-1, 6-2 and Magdalena Frech 6-2, 6-3 before absorbing a straight-set defeat to teenager Iva Jovic 2-7, 6-7 in the round of 32. Paolini is 3-2 on the 2026 WTA season, winning 62.1 percent of the first serves and converting 45 percent of breakpoint chances.
Former top-10 player Maria Sakkari hurdled her first assignment in Qatar, knocking over Zeynep Sonmez of Turkey 6-1, 6-3. The Greek is 4-3 on the season, boasting a 52 percent breakpoint conversion rate, but is only winning 58.5 percent of his first balls. She is 2-2 vs. Paolini head-to-head, but has never beaten the Italian in a hard-court match.

Our Maria Sakkari vs Jasmine Paolini Prediction
Despite her unconvincing 2-2 record against Maria Sakkari, Jasmine Paolini should be a safe pick to win in straight sets because she has yet to drop a set to Sakkari in a hard-court match. Paolini destroyed Sakkari in their first hard-court duel at the 2024 Dubai Open, 6-4, 6-2, and posted a sweep again 7-6, 7-6 at the 2025 Canadian Open. Sakkari’s two wins over Paolini came on red dirt, where the former holds a 62.7 percent win rate.
Our betting prediction for Maria Sakkari vs. Jasmine Paolini: Jasmine Paolini 2-0 Sets
