Jelena Ostapenko vs Lauren Davis prediction

Jelena Ostapenko at the 2022 Dubai Open. Ostapenko's the favorite on paper, but a lack of matches on clay this season could make life difficult for her. The Latvian has played only one match on the red dirt in 2022, in contrast to Davis, who has competed in multiple tournaments. Ostapenko is a two-time quarterfinalist in Rome and loves to play in these conditions. Her game plan is rather straightforward; deploy powerful groundstrokes to pummel her opponents into submission. But she tends to struggle against players with good retrieval skills that can prolong the rallies and force her to hit an extra ball. Davis is just that type of player. The American is noted for her exceptional footwork and court coverage. Davis lacks the firepower Ostapenko possesses, so she will need to be smart in her approach. The American should look to change the pace of the rallies and force the Latvian into committing unforced errors. Ostapenko's serve is also a liability and Davis could capitalize on that by adopting an advanced return position. But the American does not possess a great serve either, meaning this match will likely feature a large number of breaks. All things considered, if Ostapenko can get her game firing on all cylinders, she will be hard to stop. Pick: Jelena Ostapenko to win in three sets. Poll : Who will win the 2022 ATP finals?
