THE PREDICTION

World number 88 Varvara Gracheva beat Austin’s top seed Magda Linette in three sets on Tuesday in a continuation of strong recent form whilst world number 72 Anna Blinkova overcame Ann Li in straight sets. This is the third match between the two Russians on tour this year, although Gracheva claimed the only tour-level encounter at the Linz Open last month in straight sets, to make it 3-1 at tour-level. 24-year-old Blinkova reached the semi-finals of the Hobart International in January after beating Gracheva in qualifying but she has struggled to rediscover her best level from her maiden WTA title won at the Cluj-Napoca Open last October. Gracheva’s victory over in-form Linette is the more impressive of their results and backing her to earn at least a set looks the most sensible way to lean here.
