THE PREDICTION
World number 55 Marta Kostyuk looks set for her best season yet on tour if she can maintain the sort of level that beat Elena Rybakina at Adelaide 1 and Amanda Anisimova at the Australian Open. The 20-year-old has the potential to be a top 10 player one day soon and it has taken top 10 opposition, past and present including Bianca Andreescu, to oust her from her four tournaments so far this season. This looks too steep a climb for world number 196 Ipek Oz but the 23-year-old Tunisian is beginning to enjoy more prominence in qualifying rounds on tour. Oz received a wildcard to make her Masters debut here and she should be well-backed by the Dubai crowd but Kostyuk should be winning this first meeting in straight sets.
