THE PREDICTION

World number 68 Danka Kovinic takes a three-match losing streak into the first round of the Miami Open after losing to Emma Raducanu in straight sets two weeks ago at Indian Wells. The 28-year-old started the season off well with a run to the semi-finals of the Auckland Classic and she reached the quarter-finals in Lyon in February, on both occasions losing to the eventual champion. World number 137 Nao Hibino has qualified well this week without dropping a set to look the more comfortable starter here but Kovinic only recently beat the Japanese in Auckland back in January. Picking a winner looks like guesswork at this moment in time but back Hibino to earn at least a set with the confidence-boosting run-up of two wins under her belt in qualifying this week.
