THE PREDICTION
28-year0old Jasmine Paolini brings a career-high WTA world ranking of 14th into the Miami Open following her incredible run to the Dubai Masters title last month, where she upset the likes of Leylah Fernandez, Maria Sakkari and Beatriz Haddad-Maia before coming back from a set down to beat Anna Kalinskaya. The Italian beat Kalinskaya again at Indian Wells two weeks ago but a three-set exit to Anastasia Potapova in the round of 16 snapped a seven-match winning streak and it will be interesting to see how she reacts in this tough first meeting with Katie Volynets. 22-year-old Volynets has come through three tough three-setters to make the second round in Miami, backing up a solid qualifying campaign with an impressive performance against Sofia Kenin on Wednesday. The American is far better than her current deflated ranking of 121st suggests and she will be backed to the hilt as a popular home underdog with a promising future. Back Paolini to edge through outright with three sets likelier than two.
TIP: JASMINE PAOLINI TO WIN
