THE PREDICTION
This will be an interesting eight edition of a well-trodden fixture in recent months as former number four Caroline Garcia takes on Jasmine Paolini, at a career-high of 13th, for the fifth time since the start of last season. 30-year-old Garcia leads their head-to-head 5-2 after overcoming the gutsy Italian in three sets at the United Cup back in January but each of their last three encounters have seen sets go both ways, with Paolini 2-1 up in matches since October as a clear marker of her rapid rise up the rankings. The 28-year-old conceded just one game to wildcard Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva on Friday but this will be a much tougher test against an improving Garcia, who beat Xinyu Wang comfortably to back-up a solid run to the semi-finals in Rouen last week. Paolini took eventual champion Elena Rybakina to three sets before defeat in Stuttgart last week so take her to earn at least a set here as the just-about likelier to come through a probable three-set marathon.
TIP: JASMINE PAOLINI TO WIN A SET
