With both players showcasing their skills throughout the season, this encounter promises to be an intriguing battle on the hardcourts of Cancun, Mexico.

Jabeur, known for her unique playing style and versatility, will aim to use her crafty shot-making and exceptional court coverage skills to outmaneuver Vondrousova. Her ability to create angles with her shots and hit winners from all areas of the court will be crucial to her chances. The Tunisian also likes to use slices and drop shots on regular intervals to catch her opponents off guard.

On the contrary, Vondrousova, with her solid baseline game and powerful groundstrokes, will look to dictate play and overpower Jabeur. Her tactical approach may involve using her left-handed shots to exploit Jabeur's weaker wing and taking control of the rallies with aggressive shot-making. Her ability to redirect the ball and hit winners on the run will be key factors in this match.

The Tunisian's unpredictability and ability to devise creative solutions will challenge Vondrousova. However, the seventh seed should be capable of finding the answers and securing her first victory in Cancun.

Pick: Vondrousova to win in straight sets.
