THE PREDICTION
World number one Iga Swiatek is playing het first match back on tour since losing to eventual runner-up Elena Rybakina in the round of 16 at the Australian Open last month. The 21-year-old began her incredible 37-match winning streak here in Doha last season, when the tournament was a Masters event, and she will be keen to defend her title as the perfect way to gear up for next week’s Masters event in Dubai. World number 42 Danielle Collins beat Elise Mertens in straight sets on Tuesday to prove she is better than her current deflated ranking. The 29-year-old beat Swiatek in the semi-finals of last season’s Australian Open before finishing runner-up to Ash Barty, which explains her fierce dropping away from the top 20 this month, but the pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record after Swiatek took their first encounter in Adelaide two years ago.
The customary call for Swiatek’s matches has been straight sets pretty much since this time last season but Collins is a fighter with that makes any direct call somewhat nerve-wracking. The suitably cautious move here, considering Swiatek has not played for some time, is backing the Pole to win outright and the brave move would be backing Collins to earn at least a set in what could prove a thriller.
