THE PREDICTION
World number nine Maria Sakkari is the highest seed in the Guadalajara Masters draw after Ons Jabeur was stunned late on Wednesday and that pressure is usually a tough toll on the Greek. The 28-year-old has blasted past her first two opponents this week, with a round of 16 victory over Camila Giorgi an impressive one, but Sakkari has suffered an inordinate amount of early exits, shock exits and on-court capitulations this season to make this a really tough call. 22-year-old Emiliana Arango will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 120th after upsetting Taylor Townsend in three sets on Wednesday and the Colombian will enjoy a near partisan support here as a South American underdog in Mexico. Victories over Sloane Stephens and Anastasia Potapova have aged well with each passing round in Guadalajara and Arango will be well aware of her opponent’s current frailties on court. With nothing to lose and a raucous crowd behind her, back the youngster to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance. Leave this one out of an accumulator.
