THE PREDICTION

Former world number four Bianca Andreescu looks to be, tentatively, coming back into form after returning to the tour from injury earlier this season. The 22-year-old lost to Coco Gauff in three high-quality sets last week at the San Diego Open but her victory over in-form Liudmila Samsonova the round before was eye-catching, as was her opener in Guadalajara to beat Jil Teichmann in straight sets. This first meeting with former world number two Petra Kvitova should be a proper thriller on Tuesday, with the Czech also finding some excellent recent form. The 32-year-old beat Bernarda Pera in straight sets on Monday to maintain a solid run against lower-ranked players and she only recently finished runner-up to Caroline Garcia at the Cincinnati Masters, with results over the likes of Ons Jabeur and Paula Badosa proof of her recent prowess.

Much of this match depends on what version of Andreescu takes to court but the Canadian possesses all the tools to edge this at her very best. Perhaps backing Andreescu to earn at least a set is the sensible way to avoid picking a tough winner here.
