THE PREDICTION
30-year-old Emina Bektas will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of around 137th after coming through qualifying to beat a wayward Shuai Zhang on Wednesday. The American enjoyed a strong run to the quarter-finals of the Libema Open last week before defeat to eventual champion Ekaterina Alexandrova but she has been competitive against players ranked in and around her level in recent weeks. World number 90 Rebecca Marino fell to Ana Bogdan in qualifying but she made full use of her second chance as a lucky loser, battling through a tight three-set clash with Xiyu Wang on Wednesday. The 32-year-old is a renowned scrapper on tour and a first meeting between these two seems likely to need a decider to separate them. Consider a one-off on the match to see three sets or back in-form Bektas to earn at least one of them to leave the result up to chance.
