THE PREDICTION
World number two Aryna Sabalenka brings a seven-match winning streak into the Dubai Masters after defending her Australian Open title last month, becoming a two-time Grand Slam champion at 25 years old. The difference between one and two major titles is palpable for most players, proving to themselves that their first was no fluke if there was any doubt present, and a long break since Melbourne should prove to be the sensible call ahead of what could be the Belarussian’s biggest season yet. World number 31 Donna Vekic beat Xinyu Wang in straight sets on Sunday to get a much-needed foothold in after an inconsistent start to 2024. The 27-year-old enjoyed a strong run to the Linz Open semi-finals at the start of the month before a tight exit to eventual runner-up Ekaterina Alexandrova but this looks far too steep of a challenge despite her intriguing 3-2 head-to-head record over Sabalenka at tour level. An outright call would be the suitably cautious pick but back red-hot Sabalenka to take this in two.
TIP: ARYNA SABALENKA TO WIN 2-0
