THE PREDICTION
This match will either be a proper thriller or an absolute error-strewn mess between two of the more powerful, aggressive players on the WTA tour. World number two Aryna Sabalanka made it 12 wins on the spin, yet to lose in 2023, in a statement 6-0, 6-1 victory over Lauren Davis on Tuesday but defending champion Jelena Ostapenko lives for matches like these and she conceded just one more game to rising star Linda Fruhvirtova in her second round match. Ostapenko beat four Grand Slam champions on her way to the title here last season, including Iga Swiatek in the Pole’s last defeat for 37 matches, but Sabalenka remains a strong favourite here. It is hard to see anyone ousting the Belarussian in this mood but if you watch one tennis match on Wednesday make sure it is this one. Back Sabalenka to win outright, although two should so it.
