Dayana Yastremska vs Cristina Bucsa prediction

Dayana Yastremska will be eager to put her recent travails aside in Qatar.

The Ukrainian’s early loss at the Australian Open saw her plummet out of the top 30 and just outside the top 40, while her recent 6-3 6-0 loss to Ekaterina Alexandrova in Abu Dhabi means she needs a quick reset.

Next up, it’s a second career encounter with Cristina Bucsa who is on a three-match losing run and is struggling to find her feet again after a strong end to last season.

Dayana won their first clash two and three on a hardcourt in a quarter final in Lyon four years ago and while Bucsa is operating at a higher level nowadays, it seems like a match-up that should help the world number 43 pick up a much-needed win.
