Camila Osorio vs Jaqueline Cristian Prediction 5/23/25 Rabat Tennis Picks

Camila Osorio and Jaqueline Cristian meet in the semifinal of the WTA Rabat on Friday, May 23. Here’s our Camila Osorio vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction. This preview will also include a Camila Osorio vs Jaqueline Cristian pick.

Camila Osorio Preview

Camila Osorio is the second seed at the WTA Rabat and started the week with a comeback win. She defeated Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the first round. In the second round, the Colombian had another come-from-behind victory, this time seeing off Russia’s Kamilla Rakhimova 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.

In the quarterfinals, Osorio recorded a straight-sets win over Maria Mateas. She dropped just four games. Osorio hit five aces and three double faults. She landed 67% of first serves and won 68% of first serve points (25/37). Osorio won 61% of second serve points (11/18). Osorio snapped a three-match losing run in this tournament. She has reached one final this season, and that was in her home country when she lifted the WTA 250 in Bogota. Osorio is a respectable 9-3 on clay this year.

Jaqueline Cristian Preview

Jaqueline Cristian is unseeded at the WTA Rabat but came in with a reputation as a proficient clay-court player. The Romanian started the week by dispatching Ukrainian wild card Yelyzaveta Kotliar. Cristian used her experience to see off the teenager 6-3, 6-1. In the second round, Cristian prevailed against Aliona Bolsova in two tie-break sets. She saved a couple of set points in the first set. 

In the quarterfinals, Cristian beat former World No. 11 Anastasija Sevastova 6-3, 6-4 in an hour and 34 minutes. She accounted for two aces and two double faults. Cristian landed 66% of first serves in play and won 66% of first serve points (31/47). She won 58% of second serve points (14/24) and saved two of three breakpoints in the match. This is her second semifinal of the season. She was the champion at the WTA 125K in Puerto Vallarta at the end of March. Cristian is 6-3 on clay this season.

Camila Osorio vs Jaqueline Cristian Prediction

Osorio is riding high off that Bogota title win at the start of last month. That was on home territory and at altitude, where the conditions are extremely tricky to navigate. Still, she’s got the smoother hands on clay, with great variety to mix things against baseline-oriented players like Cristian. However, the Romanian has dealt well with crafty players this week, with her latest win against Sevastova probably giving her enough impetus to secure her spot in the final. I’m backing Cristian here, but watch out for a potential three-setter.
