THE PREDICTION
This will be a fascinating encounter between two top players who have showed signs of resurgent form in recent months. Former number one Karolina Pliskova burst into life at the Transylvania Open to claim her 17trh WTA title, and a first since 2020, before an excellent run to the semi-finals of the Qatar Masters last month but a three-set defeat to Anna Blinkova at this stage of Indian Wells last time out was not in the script. World number 34 Donna Vekic also brings a two-match losing streak into Miami after a first round exit to Caroline Wozniacki in the desert but she stunned world number two Aryna Sabalenka in Dubai to prove that her best tennis is simmering under the surface at this moment in time. Pliskova leads the Croat 7-1 at tour-level to look a serious favourite here but the pair have shared a few tight encounters in recent seasons, with Vekic earning at least a set in each of their last three. Back Pliskova to edge through outright or consider a one-off on Vekic to snatch a set.
TIP: KAROLINA PLISKOVA TO WIN
