A blockbuster championship match is set for Sunday at the WTA Chicago Fall Tennis Classic. This match is important for multiple reasons–it\u2019s not just a title up for grabs, but both finalists are on the edge of qualification for the upcoming WTA Finals in Guadalajara. Who do you think will emerge victorious?<\/p>\n
H2H: 1-1<\/p>\n
Garbine Muguruza couldn\u2019t have asked for an easier path to the final. A bye, two walkovers, a 6-4 6-4 win over world #71 Ann Li, and a 6-3 6-2 win over world #200 Mai Hontama. Ons Jabeur has displayed some ruthless tennis this week, a 6-0 6-1 win over Su-Wei Hsieh was a flawless start to the week, followed by a 1-6 6-2 6-3 defeat of Jessica Pegula<\/a> and a 6-4 6-2 triumph against the top seeded Elina Svitolina. Jabeur has had her own share of luck, the Tunisian led Elena Rybakina 6-4 3-2 in their semifinal clash before the Kazakh retired injured.<\/p>\n Jabeur defeat Muguruza 5-7 6-3 6-2 in their most recent meeting at Wimbledon earlier this year. Muguruza previously defeated Jabeur 3-6 6-3 7-5 at the Hobart International in 2020. This is an interesting match-up because of the contrasting techniques, Muguruza is powerful but very rigid in her approach. Jabeur also possess great firepower but plays with great variety, freedom and style.<\/p>\n
