THE PREDICTION
World number five Caroline Garcia came back from a set down to oust an improving Karolina Muchova on Wednesday. The 29-year-old lost the Lyon Open final to Alycia Parks last time out as she continues to struggle to reach that very top gear that saw her win the WTA Finals at the end of last season but in this guise Garcia remains a title threat anywhere she goes. World number seven Maria Sakkari has strung two great wins together in Doha, beating Qinwen Zheng in three sets before a straight-sets win on Wednesday over Ekaterina Alexandrova, but there is still a doubt over her mentality in these late-stage matches. The Greek lost to Garcia in the semi-finals of the WTA Finals last November to trail 0-3 in their head-to-head record and, in notably, Garcia went on to win all three of the tournaments in which she beat Sakkari; In Wuhan back in 2017 and last summer at the Cincinnati Masters. History states that Garcia can be backed to win this outright but this looks closer than some of their previous encounters. Back the Frenchwoman to edge her way into the semi-finals but three sets seem likelier than two.
