THE PREDICTION
19-year-old Maria Timofeeva will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 149th after reaching her maiden WTA final on her tour debut and she could rise as high as 128th with victory here. The Russian came through qualifying as a lucky loser and proved the old adage of second-wind momentum right with gusto this week, ousting fellow youngster Diana Shnaider for two games, coming back from a set down to beat Kaja Juvan and Daria Saville and most impressively overcoming Nadia Podoroska in three tight sets on Saturday. World number 100 Kateryna Baindl is through to her second ever final on tour at 29 years old after seeing off Claire Liu in straight sets on Saturday and the Ukrainian has yet to drop a set this week.
There will be an extra edge to this match as Baindl takes on Russia’s Timofeeva and having to play the villain could prove too much to cope with in this daunting biggest day of her young career. Timofeeva has endured the tougher draw this week but experience should see Baindl just edge through in the tighter moments. Back the Ukrainian to earn at least a set as the just-about likelier champion or consider a three-set alternative.
