THE PREDICTION
This will be a fascinating rematch between Jasmine Paolini and Anna Kalinskaya just two weeks on from the Italian’s remarkable comeback to win the Dubai Masters final. 28-year-old Paolini set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 14th for her efforts, albeit via a stroke of luck when Elena Rybakina handed her a walkover in the quarter-finals, whilst Kalinskaya set a new career-high of 24th after a stunning campaign that saw huge upsets over Jelena Ostapenko, Coco Gauff and world number one Iga Swiatek. On recent results you would have to suggest that the Russian is the favourite to beat Paolini here, despite a choppy opener over Taylor Townsend, but for that one crucial victory for the gutsy Italian when it mattered most. 25-year-old Kalinskaya beat Paolini in straight sets en-route to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in January to suggest that taking her to earn at least a set here, as she has in both matches this season, is the sensible way to avoid a result.
