Match Preview: Ons Jabeur vs Marketa Vondrousova

The quarter-final pits Tunisian star Ons Jabeur against Czech left-hander Marketa Vondrousova, two top-level competitors with a competitive head-to-head history. Vondrousova notably defeated Jabeur in the 2023 Wimbledon final, and their rivalry stands at 4-3 in Vondrousova's favour overall, though they are tied 1-1 on grass courts specifically.

Jabeur has impressed at this Berlin Open, coming through the qualifiers despite initially losing and then delivering a commanding 6-1, 6-3 win over Jasmine Paolini to advance to the quarter-finals. Vondrousova has also shown strong form, with recent wins over Madison Keys and Diana Shnaider.

Given both players are rediscovering excellent grass court performance ahead of Wimbledon, this quarter-final is expected to be a tightly contested encounter likely to extend beyond two sets, making a bet on over 2.5 sets a sensible prediction for fans[5].
