THE PREDICTION

World number 18 Anett Kontaveit could be a bit of a dark horse at the Abu Dhabi Open as a player who was almost unstoppable in these conditions just over a year ago. The 27-year-old came back from a set down to oust in-form Shuai Zhang on Monday and that run-up could aid her quest for some consistency on tour after suffering some unfortunate side effects from contracting covid-19 last year. However, Kontaveit has failed to win back-to-back matches since losing to Barbora Krejcikova in the Tallinn Open final last October and Shelby Rogers comes into this clash on a high after stunning Leylah Fernandez in three sets on Tuesday. World number 46 Rogers is one of the more unpredictable performers on tour, capable of beating anybody on her day, and picking an outright winner looks a tough call to make with confidence. The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record at tour level but Rogers has earned at least a set in each of their previous meetings. Back the American to take at least one here and leave the victor up to chance.
