SOFIA KENIN VS CAROLINE GARCIA PREDICTION
This could be a thrilling encounter if Sofia Kenin, former finalist here in 2020, and French number one Caroline Garcia can find their best tennis at the same time but the pair are certainly two of the more erratic performers on tour.
25-year-old Kenin finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek here four years ago to start what has been a rollercoaster, made of mostly steep descents, since on tour but she reached the semi-finals of the Guadalajara Masters late last season to prove there is still room for resurgence.
30-year-old Garcia reached the semi-finals of the US Open in 2022 and then won her most prestigious of 11 WTA titles at the WTA Finals but she has struggled to match that intensity practically ever since.
Both players came back from a set down to beat German opponents in the first round and Kenin leads their head-to-head 2-0 with two straight-set results over Garcia, although both came during her rise to the top in 2018 and 2019. Back Garcia, with French support to aid her, to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
