THE PREDICTION

World number one Iga Swiatek received a walkover to the semi-finals of the Qatar Open after Belinda Bencic was forced to withdraw from their match on Thursday. The defending champion started her incredible 37-match winning streak here last season and she conceded just one game to Danielle Collins on Wednesday in a blistering return to the sort of tennis she was playing at her peak back then. World number 11 Veronika Kudermetova overcame Coco Gauff in three sets to back-up some big name results over Barbora Krejcikova and Sofia Kenin but this will be a significantly tougher test. The 25-year-old also lost to the tune of just one game to Swiatek back in 2021 and she has yet to take more than three games in a set from the ruthless pole. Whilst this could come closer, Swiatek is not likely to have suffered a lapse in rhythm from her extra rest and she can be backed to take this in two.
