THE PREDICTION
28-year-old Maria Sakkari moved back up to world number seven this week after an excellent March saw her finish runner-up to Iga Swiatek at Indian Wells before a tight three-set exit to Elena Rybakina in the quarter-finals at Miami. The Greek looks to have turned a corner under new coach David Witt, having parted company with long-term former coach Tom Hill after a poor two-year period of confidence issues, and she can roll straight through to the quarter-finals in this kind fixture against qualifier Astra Sharma. World number 135 Sharma has beaten both Aliona Rodionova and Lesia Tsurenko handily since coming through qualifying as a lucky loser this week but that second wind momentum should be quashed by a hungry Sakkari here. Back the Greek to win in comfortable straight sets.
TIP: MARIA SAKKARI TO WIN (LESS THAN 16.5 GAMES)
