THE PREDICTION

Former world number 21 Amanda Anisimova looked strong in her first match back on tour since late April, beating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in straight sets on Tuesday. The 22-year-old could be a serious dark horse at tournaments over the next few months as she embarks on a journey back from her current ranking of 373 but if she can rediscover her previous best the sky is the limit. World number 36 Marie Bouzkova overcame Magdalena Frech in three sets on Tuesday to open her account at the Auckland Classic but she should be better for an early scare after finishing last season as runner-up to fellow Czech Katerina Siniakova at the Jiangxi Open. 25-year-old Bouzkova should come out of this first meeting with Anisimova victorious but her American opponent certainly possesses the higher ceiling. Take Bouzkova to win at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors to leave the result up to chance.

TIP: MARIE BOUZKOVA TO WIN A SET
