THE PREDICTION
World number 53 Magda Linette endured a really tough 2023 after her career-best run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open, seemingly struggling with the added pressure of a target on her back. The 32-year-old was forced to retire in the first round in Melbourne last month to cap it off but she looked a little more resilient in Abu Dhabi last week as she took Beatriz Haddad-Maia all the way before defeat in a three-set marathon that lasted almost four hours. World number 93 Nao Hibino qualified well to make the man draw at the Qatar Open but she has struggled to make a dent anywhere since her shock run to the Prague Open title last August. The pair share a 4-4 head-to-head record made up mostly of qualifiers and off-tour contests but Linette’s fight last week suggests she can take a lead here. Back the Pole to win outright.
TIP: MAGDA LINETTE TO WIN
