THE PREDICTION

Former world number three Sloane Stephens failed to defend her Guadalajara Open title last week, albeit moved to Merida, with a concerning 6-0, 6-0 capitulation to eventual champion Camila Giorgi in the quarter-finals. The 29-year-old reacted well on Tuesday with a straight-sets victory over Taylor Townsend but it is difficult to back her fully in any contest right now as she continues to seek out more consistency on tour. World number 145 Heather Watson is another player with a high ceiling but her results in recent seasons have been poor overall. The 30-year-old beat Danka Kovinic in straight sets on Monday for a solid opener after qualifying well over the weekend and she shares a storied 3-3 head-to-head record with Stephens at tour-level that makes this match even tougher to call than it already was. The match totally depends on what version of Sloane Stephens takes to court. Their most recent encounter went the American’s way in three sets back in 2021 and taking her to win outright here is not as overcautious as it may appear.
