THE PREDICTION

World number nine Maria Sakkari had suggested that she may take a break from tennis after losing in the first round of the US Open, her third early exit at a Grand Slam on the spin, but she beat Camila Osorio on Wednesday in her first match since after deciding against a spell away. It remains to be seen if she made the right decision but the Greek looks the clear favourite to make the semi-finals of the San Diego Open in a first encounter with Emma Navarro despite the American’s spotless run to the last eight. 22-year-old Navarro will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 52nd after blasting from qualifying through to the quarter-finals without dropping a set and she certainly has a chance at the upset here with home advantage against a vulnerable star in Sakkari. 28-year-old Sakkari should be coasting through in two here but it has been some time since we have seen her maintain her best tennis for a whole match, let alone tournament. Take Sakkari to win outright.
