THE PREDICTION

World number 24 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has found some excellent form this season to complete her comeback from a long injury lay-off in 2022. The 32-year-old set a career-high WTA world ranking of 11th after fining runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova at Roland-Garros in 2021 and she is just a few wins away from returning to the top 20 after runs to the semi-finals of the Qatar Masters and Linz Open, as well as reaching the quarter-finals in Adelaide at the start of the year. A quarter-final exit to Marta Kostyuk in San Diego last week was avoidable but the Russian should be able to bounce back confidently here against severe underdog Nuria Parrizas-Diaz, who qualified the hard way this week before a solid opener over McCartney Kessler. World number 134 Parrizas-Diaz looks ready to move back inside the top 100 after a tough 2023 but taking even a set from this first meeting with Pavlyuchenkova would be a huge surprise.

TIP: ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA TO WIN 2-0
