Redemption.

Sabalenka has beaten Jabeur three times in four meetings. That includes a straight-set triumph in the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinals. Jabeur’s only win between the two came on the clay courts at the 2020 French Open. In the Wimbledon semifinal for the second successive year, world #6 Jabeur is 33-12 in her career on grass and 6-2 in 2023.
Jabeur vs Sabalenka Prediction
Sabalenka is 33-17 on grass since 2017, including a 6-1 mark this year. Jabeur was especially sharp against Rybakina, smacking 42 winners.
Jabeur has enough variety in her repertoire to throw the hard-hitting Sabalenka off her game. But the Belarussian has been remarkably solid when playing on fast surfaces. She’ll figure out Jabeur in time to ultimately take the match in three sets.
