THE PREDICTION

World number 27 Anastasia Potapova was made to work hard for her win on Thursday, coming back from a set down and squeaking through the second-set tiebreak 11-9 in a tight contest with Elisabetta Cocciaretto. The defending champion is still searching for her best level on tour, previously spotted around this time last season with a memorable few weeks on the Sunshine Double, and this looks a very steep challenge if she cannot improve on her performance in the last 16. World number 21 Ekaterina Alexandrova conceded just three games in her opening match against Jule Niemeier on Wednesday and despite a surprise early exit at the Australian Open she has started strongly this year, stunning Elena Rybakina at this stage of the Adelaide International three weeks ago before defeat to eventual champion Jelena Ostapenko. Three sets seem likelier than two in this first tour-level encounter between the two but back Alexandrova to win at least one as the more consistent performer at this moment.

TIP: EKATERINA ALEXANDROVA TO WIN A SET
