THE PREDICTION

World number 60 Elisabetta Cocciaretto came back from a set down to beat Elise Mertens at the Dubai Masters three weeks ago but she has not played since the resulting straight-sets defeat to Coco Gauff. The 23-year-old is a solid competitor across surfaces but she will likely be looking forward to the incoming clay swing after winning her maiden WTA title at the Lausanne Ladies Open last summer. World number 64 Peyton Stearns beat Mirra Andreeva in three sets to make the second round in Dubai but she has lost her last two by the same score, reasonably to Marketa Vondrousova before an avoidable exit to Anna-Karolina Schmiedlova last week in Austin. The 22-year-old has seen all but one of her seven matches this season to go three sets to suggest her current 1-6 record can swing back around sooner rather than later but despite home advantage favouring the American back Cocciaretto to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.

TIP: ELISABETTA COCCIARETTO TO WIN A SET
