THE PREDICTION
Former world number two Anett Kontaveit postponed her retirement from tennis by one more match after a straight-sets victory over Lucrezia Stefanini. The 27-year-old has been forced to hang up her racket early after struggling with lumbar disc degeneration over the last few seasons and she has been granted a bigger stage for this clash with 32nd seed Marie Bouzkova more befitting of a send-off if she falls here. World number 33 Bouzkova conceded just five games to Simona Waltert on Monday to snap a four-match losing streak as she continues to struggle this season but the Czech could be about to turn a corner here with memories of last summer’s huge run to the quarter-finals behind her. It is difficult to say how well Kontaveit is able to play with her back issues but she beat Bouzkova in straight sets in their only previous encounter at the US Open three years ago and taking her to earn at least a set on her potential farewell seems reasonable. Leave this match out of an accumulator, though, with so many outside factors.
