THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Anna Kalinskaya set a career-high WTA world ranking of 38th after her excellent run to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open last month but she fell foul of a resurgent Karolina Pliskova in three tight sets last week in Doha. The Russian had to qualify as the top seed this week to make the main draw in Dubai but that should aid her in the early rounds, building come momentum after the huge emotional release of Melbourne, and this is a kind enough first round fixture. World number 125 Storm Hunter enjoyed a brilliant career-best run to the third round of the Australian Open to delight home crowds but defeat in the Mumbai Challenger final last weekend suggests she is far from the level required to challenge Kalinskaya here. The Aussie is clearly in a good moment after ousting Martina Trevisan and Cristina Bucsa in qualifying but Kalinskaya should be able to come through their first encounter in straight sets.
TIP: ANNA KALINSKAYA TO WIN 2-0
