🔍 Match Breakdown

This matchup pits power and pedigree (Vekic) against grit and survival (Fett). Vekic hasn’t been in top form this season but thrives on fast indoor courts when her serve and forehand click. Fett, though sharp mentally, may struggle physically after back-to-back three-set battles in qualifying.

Vekic should look to keep rallies short, control tempo early, and exploit Fett’s court positioning with angled attacks. If she avoids unforced errors, the matchup strongly favors her aggressive baseline style.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Donna Vekic to win in straight sets

Fett’s run to the main draw is impressive, but Vekic’s firepower, experience, and court-speed advantage make her the clear favorite.
