THE PREDICTION

World number 73 Diana Shnaider brings a five-match winning streak into the Qatar Masters after claiming her maiden WTA title at the Hua Hin Championships last weekend, impressively ousting defending champion Lin Zhu in three sets in the final. The 19-year-old could be in for an excellent breakthrough season on tour after flashes of promising form last year, including finishing runner-up to Ons Jabeur at the Ningbo Open, and coming through qualifying to reach the main draw in Doha should aid her cause in recalibrating after such a huge milestone last time out. Fellow Russian Erika Andreeva, also 19, will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of around 106th after an impressive qualifying weekend. The pair will know plenty about each other’s games from their time on the futures circuit but back Shnaider to begin what could be a remarkable run in Doha with victory here.

TIP: DIANA SHNAIDER TO WIN
