    Francesca Jones Player Overview

    Francesca Jones is in excellent form - 9 wins from her last 10 matches, moving through every round of this tournament without a slip. The quarter-final was another win, the streak continues. She takes 64% of games and 76% of sets. Her hold rate is slightly below average, but a high break-point conversion rate covers that. In her last six matches, she's won by at least five games every time - a sign she controls matches regardless of who's across the net.

    Alevtina Ibragimova Player Overview

    Ibragimova is in decent form - 8 wins from her last 10 matches, progressing well through the draw. But her numbers trail her opponent's: 60% of games won, 74% of sets. On serve, she's struggling - winning only around 40% of service games despite a 70% first-serve rate. She can make things difficult through break-point conversion and has a habit of reaching second rounds, but the consistency edge belongs to her opponent.

    Key factors

    • Francesca Jones has won 9 of her last 10 matches.
    • In six of those, she won with a -4.5 games handicap.
    • Jones wins a higher percentage of games than her opponent.
    • Jones hasn't been bagelled in any of her last 10 matches.
    • Alevtina Ibragimova is ranked lower and less consistent in her game totals.

    Expected scenario

    Jones looks the stronger player here - both in form and across the key numbers. A third set seems unlikely. She tends to close matches out without letting them drag.

    ⭐ Editorial prediction

    Francesca Jones has the edge here - both in current form and across the key stats. Her recent wins haven't come close, and she's regularly put up big margins against players at this level. A semi-final without a deciding set, without a tight finish - that's the likely script. The odds give enough room to back Jones handicap (-3.5).
