Petra Kvitova vs Ons Jabeur Preview

Petra Kvitova has finally secured her first win since returning from maternity leave, defeating Irina-Camelia Begu in straight sets.

Ons Jabeur started the season steadily, reaching three quarterfinals while clearing the opening round in her first five tournaments. However, her form has dipped, managing just one win in her last four events.

She is expected to start her turnaround in Rome after facing a Kvitova who is still nowhere close to the top of her game.

Petra Kvitova Form

Kvitova returned to competition this year after missing all of 2024 due to maternity leave.

She struggled with four consecutive losses but recently broke through in Rome, defeating Irina-Camelia Begu in straight sets.

The two-time Wimbledon champion will look to build momentum and claim her first back-to-back victories since 2023 Wimbledon.

While she has been a three-time champion in Madrid, Kvitova has never been overly successful in Rome, at best reaching its quarterfinals in two of her eight visits.

It has been 10 years since Kvitova last won two matches in a row at the Italian Open.

Ons Jabeur Form

Jabeur started the season well, reaching three quarterfinals (Brisbane, Abu Dhabi, and Doha) and clearing the opening rounds of her first five tournaments.

That was exactly what she needed after having to end her 2024 season without a win since Wimbledon.

However, she has struggled recently, securing just one win in her last four tournaments and falling early in Madrid to Moyuka Uchijima.

Her history in Rome is mixed, reaching the final in 2022 but losing in the opening round in her other appearances.

Verdict

Petra Kvitova v Ons Jabeur

Regardless of her recent issues, Jabeur’s relative match readiness and clay-court craft give her the edge against Kvitova, who is still finding her rhythm and is in the early days of her comeback.
