THE PREDICTION
World number nine Belinda Bencic came back from a set down to beat Victoria Azarenka in the round of 16 at the Qatar Open last week but she was forced to withdraw before playing a quarter-final with eventual champion Iga Swiatek. That leaves the Swiss an unofficial winning streak of six matches after she won the Abu Dhabi Open the week before, her second WTA title claimed this season after success at Adelaide 2. Bencic’s withdrawal was likely a precaution as she gears up for a potential deep run at the Dubai Masters and she should be able to navigate a way past world number 55 Marta Kostyuk here, just as she did in Abu Dhabi two weeks ago. 20-year-old Kostyuk came back from a set to beat Ipek Oz on Sunday but she is yet to take a set from Bencic in a one-sided looking 2-0 head-to-head. Back the Swiss to win outright here, cautiously, or risk the straight sets.
