THE PREDICTION

Defending champion Coco Gauff handed Brenda Fruhvirtova a second-set bagel in a confident win on Thursday, backing-up an equally one-sided opener against Claire Liu. The 19-year-old will start 2024 with the increased pressure of becoming a Grand Slam champion for the first time last summer, fulfilling her destiny at the US Open, but she looks head-and-shoulders the favourite to start her new campaign off with a seventh WTA title this weekend. World number 43 Varvaa Gracheva rose above the noise to oust popular underdog Lulu Sun in straight sets, building on a choppy comeback over Tereza Martincova, but the 23-year-old should struggle to cause Gauff’s new game much trouble. Back the top seed to win in straight sets.

TIP: COCO GAUFF TO WIN 2-0
