After the Australian Open, Caroline played three tournaments: in Lyon, Doha and Dubai. The greatest success of this period was the final of Lyon, in which the Frenchwoman lost in two matches to the American Parks. In Nowy Świat, Garcia played four matches, not losing a single set, eliminating Juvan, Parrizas-Diaz, Sheriff and Mertens from the draw. The semi-final against Belgium’s Mertens lasted one hour and 43 minutes, 6:3, 6:4 in favor of Caroline. Garcia’s stats in this match: 6/0 aces/double faults, 79%/57% serve points, 42%/41 rematch points. In 2023, Garcia lost the tournament final in Lyon, but in 2022, the Frenchwoman won all four finals she participated in: Homburg, Warsaw, Cincinnati and the Final Tournament.

Vekic performed well at the Australian Open, reaching the quarterfinals where she lost to eventual winner Arina Sobolenko. After Melbourne, the Croatian has only his second tournament. Before Mexico, the Balkanka played in Linz, where they reached the quarter-finals and lost in the fight to the Greek Sakkari in two sets. In Monterrey, Vekic defeated Tsurenko, Navarro, Bonaventure and Zhu Lin, losing only one set to Belgium’s Bonaventure.

Carolyn and Donna played each other eight times, the result was 4-4 in this confrontation. The Frenchwoman defeated the Croatian twice in Limoges, on grass in Nottingham and in Rome. Vekic proved stronger on Roland Garros clay, hard in Tokyo, Osaka and the 2021 Olympics.

Vekic has beaten Garcia four times in the Tour de France, and on hard the Croatian has a 3-1 advantage over the French. Early in the season, Donna outperforms Carolyn, but Donna is named as an outsider of the meeting nonetheless. Last season Caroline won all the finals she participated in, in 2023 Caroline already has one slip-up in the deciding match. We believe Donna is underrated, we offer the following match betting options:

The main prediction is for Vekic to win with a (3.5) handicap of 1.78
