THE PREDICTION
World number four Jessica Pegula conceded just three games to Cristina Bucsa in a comprehensive return to the tour on Wednesday but it remains to be seen how she fares for the rest of the year after a huge disappointment at the US Open. The 29-year-old came into New York a recent Masters champion from Montreal and with plenty of stock in a title challenge but a shock defeat to Madison Keys in the last 16 was something of a capitulation. World number 13 Daria Kasatkina beat Despina Papamichail in straight sets on Thursday but it as not as one-sided as it should have been in a cleat mis-match and she had to come back from a set down to beat Marta Kostyuk in the first round. The 26-year-old has been exceptionally unpredictable this season, with more troughs than peaks, but this could end up a thriller between two well-balanced players. Pegula beat Kasatkina in straight sets on clay two years ago in Rome in their only previous encounter and she should be able to make it 2-0 here, although three sets are a distinct possibility. Back the American to reach the semi-finals.
