Yesterday, after her semifinal win over Daria Kasatkina, Ons had an addition to her flying idea with the World No. 1. Opening up upon their much-anticipated final clash in Rome, Jabeur admitted that their plane will crash tomorrow. She also confessed that there is just one parachute as she hopes that she will get to take it.
“So tomorrow the plane will crash and there is only one parachute. I hope I take it (laughter). “I’m the co-pilot, though. There is no priority there.”
Ons Jabeur joked earlier in the week that she was Iga Swiatek’s co-pilot.
So what happens when 27 takes on 11 on Sunday?

Looking at the tournament stats, both players seem to be in destructive form. While Iga has reached the finals without dropping a set, Ons has dropped just two sets on her way to the finals.
Looking back, Ons is coming fresh from winning the Madrid Open. On the other hand, Iga hasn’t lost a tournament since the Qatar Open. Going by this, Iga holds the upper hand on Ons. However, another stat shows a different picture. Looking at the head-to-head record, Ons leads the race 2-1. Taking that as a point of consideration, Ons may look to improve her lead further.
Even though one doesn’t know the result, both Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur are expected to give high-octane entertainment to fans today at Rome.
