THE PREDICTION

World number 85 Viktorija Golubic has endured a few seasons in the wilderness struggling for form but she looks capable of coming back into herself after claiming a huge scalp on Monday, ousting 15th seed Veronika Kudermetova in three sets. The 31-year-old began to repair her ranking late last year with some strong work on the ITF circuit and she could be a factor one again over the summer on her favoured grass if she continues in this way. World number 49 Katerina Siniakova looks the fair favourite in this potential thriller, though, as the Czech ended last season with victory at the Jiangxi Open, adding to her Bad Homburg trophy in June, for a career total of five. The 27-year-old reached back-to-back finals in October to look ready for a bounce on the early hardcourt swing in 2024 but Golubic’s newfound confidence must not be underestimated. Take Siniakova to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors.

TIP: KATERINA SINIAKOVA TO WIN A SET
