THE PREDICTION
World number 13 Daria Kasatkina will have to recalibrate quickly after Marta Kostyuk pulled out of their match on Monday but the last fixture of the day leaves her plenty of time to do so against lucky loser Lucia Bronzetti. 26-year-old Kasatkina has twice finished runner-up this season already, to Jelena Ostapenko in Adelaide and Elena Rybakina in Abu Dhabi, to show for some encouraging form overall whilst also maintaining a concerning streak of four finals lost on the spin. World number 60 Bronzetti lost to Nao Hibino in three sets in qualifying to suggest she is far from her best level at this moment in time, with just two wins so far this season backing up that claim. Kasatkina has had a week’s rest after defeat in the first round in Doha, understand given that it came fewer than 24 hours after her loss in the Abu Dhabi final, and she can be backed to coast through in two here.
TIP: DARIA KASATKINA TO WIN 2-0
