THE PREDICTION
World number 28 Donna Vekic stunned Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka from a set down last week in Dubai, reaching the round of 16 before a similarly tight defeat to Sorana Cirstea. The 27-year-old won her most recent of four WTA titles this time last season at the Monterrey Open but she also enjoyed excellent weeks in Berlin, finishing runner-up to Petra Kvitova, and at the Hopman Cup where she lifted the title for Croatia alongside Borna Coric. A straight-sets victory over San Diego native and US Open Girls’ Singles champion, Katherine Hui, was a solid start to her campaign this week and she looks ready to roll through to the last eight in this kind following fixture against another youngster in Marina Stakusic. 19-year-old Stakusic was pivotal as a surprise second at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals last November, anchoring Leylah Fernandez’s incredible onslaught to help Canada win their inaugural world title. Victory over namesake Marina Melnikova will see the teenager set a new career-high WTA world ranking of around 221st but this looks far too steep of a challenge. Back Vekic to win in straight sets.
TIP: DONNA VEKIC TO WIN 2-0
