THE PREDICTION

World number 14 Beatriz Haddad-Maia reached the semi-finals of the Abu Dhabi Open two weeks ago but doing so in her customary lengthy, battling manner saw her look exhausted in a first round defeat in Doha last week. The 27-year-old saw two of her matches in Abu Dhabi reach the three-hour mark, with her victory over Magda Linette nearing four to set the WTA record for 2024 so far, and this match could be in a similar vein against renowned scrapper Jasmine Paolini, who came back from a set down to win their first tour-level encounter in Beijing last October. 28-year-od Paolini brings a career-high WTA world ranking of 24th into Dubai after an excellent run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open but she takes a three-match losing streak into this clash to look the underdog. Back Haddad-Maia to win outright but consider taking her to do so in her customary three sets.

TIP: BEATRIZ HADDAD-MAIA TO WIN
