THE PREDICTION

32-year-old Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova moved back up to world number 24 this week after an excellent run to the semi-finals of the Qatar Masters, where she beat Danielle Collins, Daria Kasatkina and Marketa Vondrousova before defeat to Elena Rybakina. The Russian’s return to the top of the sport is practically complete after she missed most of 2022 rehabilitating a knee injury and she looks ready to be a serious factor over the coming months – particularly on the clay. World number 35 Marie Bouzkova has struggled to maintain any sort of consistency on tour for some time but the Czech is still a threat to anyone on her day and improved form should be around the corner. A defeat in straight sets to the aforementioned Collins last week in Doha suggests she may struggle against Pavlyuchenkova in their first meeting but back the Russian to win outright for caution’s sake.

TIP: ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA TO WIN
