THE PREDICTION

World number 42 Katerina Siniakova beat Emma Navarro in comfortable straight sets to reach the Bad Homburg Open final last June, where she went on to win, but that run proved to be the start of something huge for Navarro. The 22-year-old brings a career-high WTA world ranking of 23rd into Dubai as she continues to enjoy an incredible surge of form since last summer, culminating in winning her maiden WTA title at the Hobart International last month and reaching the last 16 in Qatar last week where she took eventual runner-up Elena Rybakina to three sets. Siniakova claimed two WTA titles last season after finishing strongly at the Jiangxi Open and she too made the round of 16 in Doha last week with a career-best ranking win over Coco Gauff. However, Navarro’s overall form in recent months suggests she can level their head-to-head here all the same. Back the American to edge what could prove to be a thriller.

TIP: EMMA NAVARRO TO WIN
