Iga Swiatek vs Ons Jabeur – Match Predictions
Iga Swiatek to Win
Swiatek is looking to extend her six-match winning streak in Stuttgart, while Jabeur is aiming to continue her flawless clay-court season and secure her spot in the final after improving upon her 2022 quarterfinal finish. The Tunisian already has a clay court title under her belt this season after triumphing in the Charleston Open. However, this is Swiatek’s turf and she will be looking to defend it. The last two duels between the ladies have finished in favour of the Polish ace and it seems a third is likely on the cards.
2-1 to Iga Swiatek
Swiatek saved six of the nine breakpoints she accrued against Karolina Pliskova. She will be pressed by the dogged Jabeur in this semi-final meeting. The Tunisian proved difficult to be broken by Beatriz Haddad Maia, only allowing two breakpoints and saving them both, while converting four opportunities herself. Given the form of both stars, it will be a gruelling battle, one that will see the winner decided in three sets, our bet is on Swiatek.

Iga Swiatek
Iga Swiatek, the world No. 1, continued her winning streak in Stuttgart by defeating Pliskova in a tightly-fought quarterfinal match. She is the only former champion left in the tournament, having won the title last year.
Swiatek has had a mixed start to the season, with early exits in the Australian Open and losses in the later stages of Dubai and Indian Wells. However, she has already defended a title this year in Doha and will be looking to do the same in Stuttgart.
Ons Jabeur
Ons Jabeur had a comfortable quarterfinal win at the Stuttgart Open, winning 6-3, 6-0 against Beatriz Haddad Maia. She also improved upon her 2022 quarterfinal finish at the tournament. Despite a shaky start, she has remained unbeaten on clay this season, having won the Charleston Open without dropping a set in five matches.
Jabeur had a great season last year with a title in Madrid and finals appearances in Rome, Charleston, Wimbledon, and the US Open. However, a knee injury slowed her down at the start of 2023, and she was eliminated in the second round of the Australian Open before skipping the Middle East events.
