THE PREDICTION

Former world number three Elina Svitolina overcame fellow Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina in two tight sets on Monday to look solid in her return from injury. The 29-year-old was forced to retire during her round of 16 clash with Linda Noskova at the Australian Open last month but a kind follow-up fixture here looks like giving her the momentum required to be a factor right away in Dubai. World number 54 Tatjana Maria conceded just three games to an out-of-sorts Varvara Gracheva on Sunday but she has struggled to make a dent on this season so far, failing to win back-to-back matches anywhere since reaching the quarter-finals of the Guangzhou Open in September. Svitolina leads their tour-level head-to-head 2-1 and this first meeting between the two this decade should fall her way relatively comfortably. Back Svitolina to win in two.

TIP: ELINA SVITOLINA TO WIN 2-0
