THE PREDICTION

Expect a lengthy battle here between two entertaining counter-punchers in world number 40 Marie Bouzkova and number 50 Sara Sorribes Tormo, both of whom are capable of much better tennis than their current rankings suggest. The pair know plenty about each other’s games as oft-doubles partners, winning the Women’s Doubles at the Beijing Masters last October, but their singles form has faltered in recent months. 25-year-old Bouzkova has endured a tough start to 2024 but back-to-back defeats to Danielle Collins and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is no embarrassment at all right now on tour. 27-year-old Sorribes Tormo was forced to retire injured from her most recent match this time last month at Abu Dhabi but she has struggled to make a dent on tour since lifting her second WTA title at the Cleveland Championships last August. Given Bouzkova’s more recent match practice, back the Czech to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable winners.

TIP: MARIE BOUZKOVA TO WIN A SET
