Iga Swiatek vs Jelena Ostapenko Prediction
Beating Iga Swiatek at the Qatar Open is proving to be an impossible task. Three straight titles in this tournament and she hasn't lost a match in five years. But one woman has been a thorn in her game throughout her career and that is Ostapenko. Whenever they meet, the Latvian's power completely overwhelms Swiatek.
So, if that unbelievable Swiatek streak is to end, then Ostapenko is the likeliest to do it because she has a perfect 4-0 record in the head-to-head. Also, when you consider that Ostapenko has lost just eight games combined in her last two matches against Jasmine Paolini and Ons Jabeur, it's not like she's low in confidence. I'll go with the upset here. It's not 2023 levels from Swiatek when she was unstoppable in Doha, so the Ostapenko plus money looks extremely enticing.
