THE PREDICTION
World number two Aryna Sabalenka came back from a set down to beat an impressive Katie Volynets on Friday night but she should be better for an early scare. The 25-year-old played herself into clay form at the Madrid Open last week, snapping Danielle Collins’ 14-match winning streak and ousting rival Elena Rybakina before just missing out in an incredible final against world number one Iga Swiatek.
World number 33 Dayana Yastremska has so far enjoyed a rare 100% winning record over the powerful Belarussian, having won both of their previous encounters in straight sets at the peak of her powers before the covid-19 pandemic, but the pair have moved in wildly different directions since. 23-year-old Yastremska repaired her ranking with a shock run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January but she has failed to win back-to-back matches since, suggesting the Australian Open champion can claim her own straight-sets result here.
TIP: ARYNA SABALENKA TO WIN 2-0
