Thanks to her incredible performance at Wimbledon and impressive victory against Sabalenka, Ons Jabeur comes into this match in a good mood. She has shown her accuracy, powerful serve, and ability to play long rallies. Sabalenka, on the other hand, is not in her best form, as shown by her loss in Montreal and her close call against Kalinina. Her reception game also raises questions. Jabeur has already defeated Sabalenka this year, which could give her additional confidence. The Belarusian needs more time to recover after Wimbledon, while Jabeur has already gone through several matches at the Cincinnati tournament. Taking into account all these factors, as well as Jabeur's consistency and ability to play against Sabalenka, I am inclined to predict Jabeur's victory in this match.
At the previous tournament in Montreal, Sabalenka lost to Samsonova in three sets, indicating her unstable performance under pressure. However, at the Cincinnati tournament, she shows signs of improvement, winning matches against Li and Kasatkina. Nevertheless, Sabalenka still loses initiative and plays inconsistently. On the other hand, Jabeur performs more reliably and is likely to put up a fight. In light of this, there are good reasons to believe that Sabalenka may once again crack under pressure and lose to Jabeur. Based on this, my prediction is F1 (4), meaning Jabeur's victory.
