THE PREDICTION
The tennis calendar can be cruel sometimes as world number 13 Daria Kasatkina comes in fresh from defeat to Elena Rybakina in the Abu Dhabi final, played yesterday, to face a tough opener against former number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. 26-year-old Kasatkina enjoyed one of her better campaigns in recent years last week, beating in-form Beatriz Haddad-Maia and Sorana Cirstea before coming unstuck against Rybakina but it would be truly remarkable for her to bounce back less than 24 hours on. World number 32 Pavlyuchenkova has started 2024 very strongly indeed, requiring players of top 20 quality at least to oust her from her four tournaments so far, but she does, notably, trail Kasatkina 4-1 in their head-to-head. The younger Russian has won each of their last four encounters to make this a tough call but back the more refreshed Pavlyuchenkova to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors.
TIP: ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA TO WIN A SET
