Jasmine has a tangible advantage in head-to-head encounters, winning three of her four matches. All the matches were tightly fought, but Paolini won through more stable and accurate play. It’s unlikely to change today. Yastremska played too unconvincingly at the start, she miraculously escaped defeat in the game with Korpatsch.
In their three previous encounters, the players have played more than 21 games, which is what we expect today as well.

In Romania, Dayana managed to break her losing streak. In the first round, she defeated Tamara Korpatsch (6-3, 4-6, 7-5) in three sets. Dayana had no such confident performance. She had given up her serve six times and had made five unforced errors. In the deciding set, Yastremska was losing 2-5 and narrowly escaped defeat.
Dayanna Yastremska has lost six of her last seven matches as an underdog.
Jasmine Paolini has played in three tournaments since the US Open. In Portoroz and Parma, she managed to reach the quarterfinals. Her second-round exit in Romania comes as little surprise.
In the first-round match in Cluj-Napoca, Jasmine played against Marta Kostyuk. Paolini managed to win in three hard-fought sets (5-7, 6-3, 6-4). The game was largely even, but Jasmine was more reliable and did not take unnecessary risks in the decisive draws.
