THE PREDICTION
Former world number three Elina Svitolina is coming up to the anniversary of her return to tour from maternity leave, initially struggling until a truly remarkable summer saw her win a 17th WTA title at the Strasbourg Open before deep runs at Roland-Garros and Wimbledon. Injury at the US Open, and again at the Australian Open this January, have curtailed her momentum a little but it took Iga Swiatek to oust her from Dubai last time out and she should be considered a dark horse as a three-time Masters champion who will receive a huge backing this fortnight. World number 41 Katerina Siniakova stunned Coco Gauff in straight sets at the Qatar Masters this time last month but she has lost three of her last five after beating Greet Minnen in straight sets on Thursday and this looks too steep of a step-up in quality. Svitolina has won all three of their previous encounters in three sets but a first meeting since her ruthless return could be her first in two. Take the Ukrainian to win outright for caution’s sake.
TIP: ELINA SVITOLINA TO WIN
