THE PREDICTION

27-year-old Ons Jabeur made history on Saturday by becoming the first player from Africa to win a WTA Masters 1000 event in a three-set victory over Jessica Pegula at the Madrid Open. The Tunisian won her first WTA title on grass at last season’s Birmingham Classic and she built on that performance well to reach the quarter-finals of Wimbledon soon after, which bodes well for chances in this tough first round clash with Sorana Cirstea. 32-year-old Cirstea reached the semi-finals of the Istanbul Open last month, a title she was defending, and she is maintaining an impressive chase to break the top 20 for a first time after setting a career-high ranking of 21st almost a decade ago. Jabeur will match her career-high of seventh on Monday and she is likely to run and run in Rome, buoyant over a much-deserved success. Take the eighth seed to win outright here for a first win over the Romanian.
