THE PREDICTION
World number 28 Anhelina Kalinina is one of the streakier players on tour but she has enjoyed plenty of deep runs on her favoured clay in the past two seasons, including finishing runner-up to Elena Rybakina at the Rome Masters last May. However, the 26-year-old has won just 12 matches since that rather stressful encounter with Rybakina and a 0-2 record for 2024 so far does not bode well. World number 50 Arantxa Rus is also at her best on clay but the Dutchwoman impressed with a run to the quarter-finals in Hobart this week. The 33-year-old finally won her maiden WTA title last summer at the Hamburg Open, having enjoyed an illustrious career off the main tour for many years, and the confidence of that could see her through to a decent upset here. Leave this tight call out of an accumulator but consider taking Rus to earn at least a set with the better recent form behind her.
TIP: ARANTXA RUS TO WIN A SET
