THE PREDICTION

31-year-old Irina Camelia Begu has enjoyed some strong form over the last few months, with a surprise run to the Cleveland Championships final halted by Anett Kontaveit last August and a couple of quarter-finals since including at Melbourne 1 this year. The world number 64 won the most recent of four WTA titles at the Budapest Open in 2017 on her favoured clay but she has form enough on hardcourts to suggest a relatively comfortable win here against Oceane Dodin. The world number 85 performed well in a three-set defeat to Belinda Bencic last wee in Sydney, though, and that suggests taking Begu to win at least a set as the likelier player to come through here is a reasonable move.
