THE PREDICTION
World number 20 Jelena Ostapenko began the defence of her Dubai Tennis Championships title with an assured straight-sets victory over Katarina Zavatska. The 25-year-old claimed the most recent of her five WTA titles here last season, where she became the last player to beat Iga Swiatek on tour before the Pole went on a 37-match winning streak. 17-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova grabbed one of the big shocks of the first round with a straight-sets victory over Danielle Collins and she looks set to break the top 50 on tour for the first time. Once the rankings refresh next Monday. A first meeting between the two probably favours Ostapenko in conditions she finds favourable and she will savour defending her title as much as exerting her will over rising stars like Fruhvirtova. Three sets seem likelier than two here but back the Latvian to earn at least one of them to leave the victor up to chance.
