Barbora Krejcikova vs Amanda Anisimova prediction

Amanda Anisimova will aim to put a disappointing defence of her Doha title firmly behind her in Dubai.

The American fell at the first hurdle against former champion Karolina Pliskova and has another tricky opener here in the shape of two-time major winner Barbora Krejcikova.

The Czech ended a three-match losing run against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round and often rises to the occasion in high profile scenarios. 

Anisimova lost their only clash prior to this one in straight sets but that was in 2021 and the world number four is clearly a tougher proposition nowadays. 

That said, Krejcikova has the capability to neutralise power and bring variety into play, which may give her a shot at the upset. 

Amanda will be desperate to avoid an early loss and should have the edge but it may involve a scare.

Barbora Krejcikova vs Amanda Anisimova tip: Over 2.5 sets
