THE PREDICTION

World number 48 Kaia Kanepi has not enjoyed as blistering start to 2023 as she enjoyed last season but the 37-year-old veteran should be good for the win here against Viktoria Tomova. World number 100 Tomova qualified well this week to make the main draw at the Dubai Masters but the Bulgarian has lost each of her three first round matches this season, with her last tour-level victory coming at the Prague Open last July. The pair have not met at tour-level but Kanepi’s few wins this season are enough to suggest that she can come through in straight sets here, although Tomova’s momentum from qualifying makes taking the Estonian to win outright the sensible move.
