THE PREDICTION

Former world number 19 Karolina Muchova is enjoying her best spell of prolonged fitness for some time on tour and a three-set defeat to Caroline Garcia at the Qatar Open last week suggests she is moving in the right direction. The current world number 123 also lost to Danielle Collins in three very tight sets at the Australian Open and that level looks enough to come through this opener in Dubai against world number 45 Bernarda Pera. 28-year-old Pera changed the course of her career last summer with a sudden burst of form to claim back-to-back WTA titles, her first two, on clay and it will be interesting to see how she fares on the incoming swing on that surface but this looks a mis-match in power on Monday. Muchova claimed their only previous tour-level meeting, on clay, at the Prague Open almost four years ago and she can be backed to take this match in two with the conditions better suiting her game.
