THE PREDICTION
World number one Iga Swiatek played well to avoid a tougher match with in-form Yulia Putintseva on Saturday, allowing just one break of her serve in a straight-sets victory. The 22-year-old is rising an eight-match winning streak after claiming her first Madrid Open title the weekend before last, besting defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in an absolute thriller that throws forward to an incredible few weeks ahead on the WTA tour.
Former world number one Angelique Kerber has reached the round of 16 of a Masters event for the second time this season to suggest her comeback from maternity leave will be a successful one, with the 36-year-old shaving another 100 places off of her current ranking of 331st. The German is yet to drop a set this week, upsetting last season’s semi-finalist Veronika Kudermetova in straight sets in the second round, but she lost comfortably Swiatek in their United Cup final clash back in January and she will face an even more potent version of the Pole here. Take Swiatek to win in two.
TIP: IGA SWIATEK TO WIN 2-0
