THE PREDICTION
World number seven Maria Sakkari survived an early scare on Tuesday with a tight straight-sets victory over Nuria Parrizas-Diaz. The Greek looks to have entered the lower-ranked of the two WTA tournaments this week in the hope of rediscovering the sort of form that saw her finish runner-up at the Guadalajara Masters late last year, as well as reach the semi-finals of the WTA Finals, with her third round exit to Lin Zhu at the Australian Open another crushing upset at a major. World number 84 Varvara Gracheva is no pushover, though, and claiming a straight-sets victory over Anna Blinkova on Tuesday after coming through qualifying as a lucky loser will be a tough momentum for Sakkari to compete with. The pair have never met on tour before and whilst Sakkari should be blasting through these sorts of contests in straight sets her confidence keeps her from reaching top gear and staying there at times. Back the Greek to win outright until we see more clinical tennis from her.
