THE PREDICTION
31-year-old Magda Linette set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 21st after her stunning run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open last month were finally ended by eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka. The Pole beat Anett Kontaveit, Caroline Garcia and Karolina Pliskova amongst others in a scintillating run and she comes into the Merida Open as the top seed hoping to find that form still there. A comeback victory over Camila Osorio is a solid-enough start in her first match back on tour in almost a month and she has been handed a kinder round of 16 opponent in Panna Udvardy. World number 91 Udvardy grabbed an eye-catching result of her own with a victory over Jule Niemeier in two tiebreaks but Linette is experienced enough to know that she must do anything she can to utilise this current hot streak. Back the Pole to win in straight sets.
