THE PREDICTION
World number 67 Cristina Bucsa suffered a poor loss in three sets to Storm Hunter in qualifying on Saturday but she has been gifted a rare double lucky loser boost through to the second round after Ons Jabeur was forced to withdraw from Dubai. The 26-year-old will be a very dangerous force on this huge second wind momentum but 25-year-old Anna Kalinskaya should e able to weather early pressure as she enjoys an excellent period on tour, with a consummate victory over the aforementioned Hunter on Sunday suggesting this should be a relatively comfortable win in the end. The Russian set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 38th after her brilliant run to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open last month and she looks well capable of smashing that this week. Back Kalinskaya to win outright for caution’s sake.
TIP: ANNA KALINSKAYA TO WIN
