It will be a battle of the unbeaten tonight at the Pinty's Grand Slam of Curling Masters event which is taking place at Memorial Gardens this week.
Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones and Sweden's Anna Hasselborg, both 3-0 after draw 9 will clash on Memorial Gardens ice once again.
Of course, back in 2018, it was Jones who defeated Hasselborg in North Bay to capture gold at the Ford World Women's Curling event.

“It’s always great heading into your last game at 3-0 feeling like you’re in a pretty good spot,” Jones told the Canadian Press after defeating the Fujisawa rink from Japan 5-2.
“We’ll just go out Friday night, have some fun and see what we can do.”
A total of six rinks, including the Jones and Hasselborg rinks, are unbeaten after draw nine.
On the men's side, Scotland’s Bruce Mouat and Regina’s Matt Dunstone are 3-0 while Switzerland’s Peter De Cruz is 2-0. The Jacobs rink out of Sault Ste. Marie sits at 2-1 after a 7-3 win over the Coe rink Thursday night.
On the women’s side, Sweden’s Anna Hasselborg, Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones and defending world champion Silvana Tirinzoni from Switzerland are all 3-0.
The Hasselborg/Jones match will take place in Draw 13 at Memorial Gardens and will air tonight on Sportsnet starting at 7:30 p.m.
