THE PREDICTION

26-year-old Anett Kontaveit remains one of the most in-form players in the world right now and she exuded control over the St. Petersburg Open fifth seed Belinda Bencic on Friday to set-up this exciting clash with Jelena Ostapenko. World number 25 Ostapenko needed three sets to get past the improving Aliaksandra Sasnovich but the mini-scare could do her some good as one of the more sporadic talents on tour. Ostapenko beat Kontaveit in straight sets to win the Eastbourne International last June but that tournament was the beginning of an incredible surge of form for the Estonian that saw her go on to win four titles in the space of two months last season. The world number nine has proven prolific at this level for almost half a year now and she never knows when she is beaten. Staying in this match and waiting for Ostapenko’s head to drop is key, so three sets could well be needed here before Kontaveit comes through the winner.
