It should be an entertaining day of semifinal action at the WTA Rabat Open in Morocco, with all four players still in contention no doubt determined to secure their spot in the final and maintain their momentum ahead of the French Open. As ever, we here at LWOT will be offering our predictions for both matches – but who will secure their spot in Saturday’s final?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head:\u00a0<\/strong>first meeting<\/p>\n Maya Joint arrived here after a dominant 6-1 6-1 victory over Ann Li. The Australian teenager won in just 65 minutes, landing 66% of her first serves and saving five out of six breakpoints she faced to reach her first tour-level semifinal on clay. She is on a 28-13 record for 2025 and is assured of breaking into the top 70 after this tournament.<\/p>\n Ajla Tomljanovic also reached the semifinals with a strong performance, overcoming Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in straight sets, completing the match in just 66 minutes. The World No. 79 has dropped a set in both of her previous matches in this tournament but she\u2019s now into her second semifinal appearance of the season and her first on clay. The 32-year-old has a 7-4 record on this surface this year.<\/p>\n Both players are positioned just one spot apart in the WTA rankings and will see their rankings improve after this tournament. While Tomljanovic brings a wealth of experience to this clash, she faces one of the tour’s most exciting young talents. Joint is known for her fearless shot-making ability and has already challenged some top players this season. If she maintains the determined mindset that propelled her into the top 80, we believe Joint is poised for a significant win in this all-Aussie matchup.<\/p>\n Prediction: Joint in 3
