THE PREDICTION

World number 31 Donna Vekic was up against it on Friday in a tight three-set result over in-form Ysaline Bonaventure, ousting the Belgian in a deciding tiebreak to maintain her promising campaign in Monterrey. The Croat has been enjoying a new lease of life under coach Pam Shriver and at 26 years old she has plenty of time to return to the top 20 and above if the pair can unlock the full potential of her many top-class weapons. 29-year-old Lin Zhu will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of around 33rd after beating Caroline Dolehide in straight sets on Friday. The Chinese late-bloomer won her maiden WTA title at the Hua Hin Championships last month after enjoying the run of her career at the Australian Open, where she stunned Maria Sakkari before a three-set defeat to two-time former champion Victoria Azarenka. Three sets seem likelier than two in what should be an exciting clash on Saturday and so backing Vekic, who went one round further in Melbourne before defeat to eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka, to earn at least a set looks the sensible way to lean here.
