THE PREDICTION
World number 25 Anna Kalinskaya could be one to watch this fortnight in Miami with all the tools to excel in these conditions, just as long as she does not run into Jasmine Paolini. The Russian stunned the field to reach the Dubai Masters final last month, including a career-best win over Iga Swiatek, but defeat to Paolini from a set up at that stage was compounded by another loss to the Italian at Indian Wells last time out to suggest she needs to work on a Plan B for some players.
World number 56 Xiyu Wang is a wily, scrappy player capable of following the blueprint here and she brings strong recent form into the mix after finishing runner-up to Yue Yuan at the Austin Open. The 22-year-old won her first match since in comfortable circumstances over Anna-Karolina Schmiedlova on Tuesday but this looks like too steep of a challenge at this moment in time. Straight sets should do it for Kalinskaya but you could be forgiven for a cautious outright call.
TIP: ANNA KALINSKAYA TO WIN
