THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Karolina Pliskova is steadily falling down the WTA world rankings after a fairly drab season on tour but she is always capable of bursting into form at a tournament like this. The 31-year-old has a serious chance at a very deep run considering how few of the top names have come to Guadalajara but two wins from seven since the start of the hardcourt swing is not encouraging. 25-year-old Ena Shibahara will move back inside the top 500 after qualifying well with two straight-set wins this weekend but this looks too steep of a challenge against Pliskova, who should be able to win this at 60%. Take the Czech to win in straight sets but consider leaving her matches out of any promising accumulators for the time being.
