THE PREDICTION
World number 21 Donna Vekic beat Nao Hibino in straight sets on Monday to snap a four-match losing streak that stretches back to an injury suffered in the round of 16 at the Cincinnati Open in August. The 27-year-old began finding her feet under new part-time coach Pam Shriver this time last season and she claimed her first WTA title since 2021 at the Monterrey Open in February to suggest bigger things are still on the horizon. World number 43 Lesia Tsurenko beat Diana Shnaider in straight sets to back-up her strong qualifying run in Zhengzhou and that momentum could prove the difference here. The 34-year-old has enjoyed a renaissance period on tour over the past two seasons, when fit, but recent form has been found wanting on hardcourts. The conditions suit Vekic but this match could go either way with both players seeking a much-needed deep run. Back Vekic to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
