Kontaveit Extends Winning Streak to Nine

25-year old Kontaveit extended her winning streak on Tuesday to nine straight matches, and 18 consecutive sets, when she defeated Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-0, 6-2 in just over an hour.

Kontaveit was riding a high entering that match, as she had just defeated the defending champion Bianca Andreescu a day earlier. The Estonian went on to only lose eight points off her serve, and landed 75 percent of her first serves. Breaking her opponent five times helped contribute to the win.

Anett Kontaveit extends her winning streak to 9 matches – 18 consecutive sets – defeating Beatriz Haddad Maia 60 62 to advance to the #BNPPO21 quarterfinals.

Kontaveit is run hot right now, and her quarterfinal opponent, Jabeur, will not be an easy task, but it should be a great match.

Jabeur’s First Indian Wells Quarterfinals

On Tuesday, 27-year old Jabeur helped her chances to qualify for the WTA finals later this year, and booked her a spot in her second WTA 1000 quarterfinal of the season, and first here in Indian Wells. Prior to this year, Jabeur had never been able to make past the second round.

In her 6-2, 6-2 win over Anna Kalinskaya, Jabeur recorded 32 winners, and just 15 unforced errors, and didn’t get broken once. When landing her first serve, she managed to earn a point 83 percent of the time, and followed it up with 75 percent on her secord serve. When a player can turn around a record a decent percentage on their second serves, it can be very dangerous for their opponents.

Her Tuesday night win also became her tour-leading 47th win of the season, as she looks to extend that lead while taking on Kontaveit in the quarters.

Head-to-Head

This will be the fourth meeting between these two players, with Jabeur currently holding the head-to-head record edge 2-1. Their first meeting came way back in 2014, where Kontaveit snagged that win in straight sets, but Jabeur has been able to win the most recent two, including a win earlier this year.

Jabeur went on to beat Kontaveit during the Round of 64 in Cincinnati in three sets.

Best Bet

This match could really go either way. Both players are playing at such a high level, and securing impressive wins. It seems like neither player has been truly tested this tournament. Yes, Kontaveit defeated Andreescu, but she still managed to win in straight sets. These two will most definitely be each other’s toughest opponent to date in Indian Wells this year.

Given the way they’ve played in this tournament, and their head-to-head history, the edge seems to be with Jabeur. But don’t be surprised if Kontaveit steals a set away, this will most likely go the distance.

Best Bet: Ons Jabeur 2-1 (+295)
