THE PREDICTION
World number 44 Aliaksandra Sasnovich reignited her career at the delayed October 2021 edition of Indian Wells with a storming run to the round of 16 and it will be interesting to see how she fares back on favoured soil after a tough few months. The Belarussian has won just two of five matches played in 2023, with her opening defeat coming at the hands of Kaia Kanepi at Adelaide 1 from a set up. World number 51 Kanepi has an identical 2-3 record for 2023 despite that win but her last deep run was recent enough, a semi-final exit to fellow Estonian Anett Kontaveit at the Tallinn Open in October, to suggest the 37-year-old veteran can still turn it around. Three sets seem likelier than two here given their recent first encounter at tour-level so consider that option in lieu of backing a winner in this tight match. Otherwise, back Sasnovich to earn at least a set.
