Ons Jabeur vs Petra Kvitova preview
World No. 6 Ons Jabeur will square off against two-time Major champion Petra Kvitova in the fourth round of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships on Monday.
Jabeur scored straight-sets wins over Magdalena Frech and Zhuoxuan Bai to reach the third round. She then faced 2019 US Open champion Bianca Andreescu for a place in the fourth round.
Andreescu played a fantastic first set to capture it and take the lead in the match. Jabeur then stepped up her game to clinch the second set and level the proceedings. The Tunisian trailed 3-1 in the final set, but claimed five of the next six games to complete a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 comeback victory.
Kvitova, meanwhile, knocked out Jasmine Paolini and Aliaksandra Sasnovich to set up a third-round date with Natalija Stevanovic. The Czech dropped her serve at the start of the first set to fall behind 2-1. She then turned the tables on her opponent by breaking her serve twice to nab the set.
Kvitova led by a break twice in the second set, but Stevanovic fought back to level the score on each occasion. The 33-year-old then secured a break of serve in the 11th game to go 6-5 up. She stepped up to serve out the match in the next game and after saving three break points, got the job done on her fourth match point to win 6-3, 7-5.

Ons Jabeur vs Petra Kvitova prediction
Both players were put to the test in the previous round, but managed to overcome their opponents to taste victory. Jabeur won 81% of her first-serve points, a lot more than Kvitova's 63%. However, the latter's count of 40 winners was higher than the former's 30.
Kvitova won both of her Major titles at Wimbledon, along with four more titles on grass. Jabeur reached the final here last year and has won a couple of titles on the surface as well.
This match will be a battle between Kvitova's power-packed game against Jabeur's finesse. The Czech is likely to have the upper hand in baseline duels. The Tunisian, on the other hand, will look to make the most of her dropshots and disrupt her opponent's rhythm with her variety.
The two are among the best grasscourt players on the tour. This is a contest that could swing either way. However, considering Kvitova's winning record against Jabeur and her history at the venue, it's tough not to back her to come through.
Pick: Petra Kvitova to win in three sets.
