THE PREDICTION
This should be an electrifying first encounter between two players likely to meet at the top of the game for many years to come. 20-year-old Iga Swiatek is at a career-high sixth in the WTA world rankings and the first seed in Ostrava. So far she is playing like it with a comfortable enough opening match against Yulia Putintseva on Wednesday. She faces a second-successive Kazakh now in rising star Elena Rybakina, who is also at the highest ranking of her young career at world number 16. She needed a decider to take out Magda Linette in the round of 16 but she will be up for this test in a big way. Two of the most powerful women on tour facing off for the first time leaves more questions than answers but taking the top seed Swiatek to win at least a set here as the likelier of two very capable winners looks the sensible call.
