THE PREDICTION

World number 18 Beatriz Haddad-Maia withdrew from the Guadalajara Masters last week after a quarter-final exit at the San Diego Open, her best run on hardcourts since the start of the swing. The 27-year-old suffered a freak injury in the round of 16 at Wimbledon this summer to hamper some strong form on tour but a run to the Canada Masters final last summer is proof of what she can do in a tournament of this magnitude when on song. World number 37 Jasmine Paolini enjoyed a huge run to the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Masters last month but the Italian is probably at her best on clay, on which she finished runner-up to Qinwen Zheng at the Palermo Ladies Open in July. Paolini and Haddad-Maia will meet for the first time here in what could be a thrilling, lengthy battle. Neither is a stranger to a three-setter, so consider a one-off on that option or take Haddad-Maia to earn at least one as the likelier victor.
