Ons Jabeur vs Kaia Kanepi preview
The third round of the 2022 Miami Open will feature an exciting clash between Ons Jabeur and Kaia Kanepi on Saturday.
Jabeur, the eighth seed, came through a tight battle against Magda Linette in her opening match. The Tunisian, who looked to be in physical discomfort, needed an hour and 43 minutes to overcome the Pole's challenge and prevail 7-6(1), 6-2.
Kanepi, meanwhile, came through a marathon contest on Thursday. The Estonian beat Sara Sorribes Tormo in a three-hour long battle after having dropped the first set.
Kanepi has been in good form this season, having reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and the third round at Indian Wells. She has also beaten the likes of Aryna Sabalenka and Belinda Bencic and will look to add Jabeur's name to the list on Saturday.

Ons Jabeur vs Kaia Kanepi prediction
This third-round encounter will pit Kaia Kanepi's firepower against Jabeur's versatile brand of tennis.
While playing at her best, the Tunisian is capable of hitting any shot in the book. That sort of level, however, has been missing from her game for much of this season.
Jabuer has played a few topsy-turvy matches this year and her inability to maintain her level over extended periods has cost her. Against an in-form opponent like Kanepi, the Tunisian will have to find her rhythm quickly.
Kanepi will step out looking to take control of the contest using her powerful groundstrokes. The Estonian has been in impeccable form and if she can keep her error count in check, she could seal her second top-10 win this season.
Prediction: Kaia Kanepi to win in three sets
