THE PREDICTION
18-year-old Liv Hovde will break inside the top 250 on tour if she can build on her excellent qualifying run and she will be backed to the hilt by a partisan crowd on her WTA tour debut. The teenager beat two tough foes in straight sets to earn her maiden tour-level match on one of the biggest stages in tennis and that will be a tough momentum for world number 37 Lesia Tsurenko to break, particularly as she comes in from an early exit to eventual champion Katie Boulter at the San Diego Open last week. The 34-year-old has just returned from an injury that saw her withdraw from the round of 16 at the Qatar Masters last month, a run that suggests her level is there if not her fitness, but it has been a generally underwhelming start to 2024 based on recent seasons. Leave this match out of an accumulator but otherwise back Hovde to earn at least a set on momentum to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: LIV HOVDE TO WIN A SET
