 Hans Jaber vs. Alina Rabakana is the third quarter final for the ladies Wimbledon for 2023. Both ladies have had different roads to get to this stage. Jaber entered the tournament as the number 6 seed and would take on Frech in the first round. This was too easy for Jaber getting through in straights, 6-3-6-3. In the second round she would take on the qualifier Bay and again an easy win for Jaber winning in straights, 6-1-6-1. In the third round she would take on Drescu, former US Open Champion. And after dropping the first set, Jaber would have to fight back to win 3-6-6-3-6-4 to advance to the fourth round. In the fourth round she would take on the number 9 seed Kvitova because she had a bad record against losing 4 of their previous 5 matches. This time Jaber was on fire demolishing Kvitova in straights 6-1-6-3 to advance to the quarter finals. Rabakana entered the tournament as the number 3 seed and would take on Rodgers in the first round. And after dropping the first set, would fight back to win 4-6-6-1-6-2. In the second round she would take on Kornay and after a close second set get through in straights 6-2-7-6. In the third round she would take on the wildcard Bolta who would run a tournament on the grass prior to Wimbledon. This is no problem for Rabakana getting through in straights 6-1-6-1. In the fourth round she would take on the 13th seed Adajmaia who she had lost both their previous matches too. But unfortunately Adajmaia got injured with Rabakana getting a walkover 4-1 retirement. These two have played 4 times before with the head to head split down the middle 2-2 in their previous meeting actually being at the final of Wimbledon last year where Rabakana got that win from a set down. If Jaber is going to win this one she needs to keep her concentration. In that Wimbledon final she was off to such a great start but unfortunately she just couldn't keep that level and also couldn't keep her concentration. She's going to have to mix it up as well. Make Rabakana move, drop shot, slice everything to win this one. If Rabakana is going to win this one she needs to be aggressive like she always is. Big serving as well. If she serves well she'll be able to win this match probably in straights sets but she needs to serve well. Unfortunately Cavitiva couldn't do that against Jaber and Jaber just chopped her up. So if she doesn't serve well then that's going to be a real big problem. Also the ground strokes of course making Jaber move. This is such a fun matchup and we've waited so long 12 months now to watch this matchup and we finally get the rematch. I'm going to go Rabakana to win this one. I feel like her game this week has been so aggressive and the fact she spent less time on court than Jaber having to play a long match against Andrescu a couple of days ago. I feel like maybe Rabakana can get through this one in three but I reckon it's going to be an epic. Let me know down in the comments below who's making the semi-finals.
