THE PREDICTION
World number 19 Veronika Kudermetova brings a concerning four-match losing streak into this opening clash with Dayana Yastremska, with recent defeats to Heather Watson and Viktorija Golubic wholly avoidable. The 26-year-old enjoyed her best season on tour last year, reaching back-to-back semi-finals at Masters events in Madrid and Rome before claiming the Tokyo 500 title, but she looks devoid of confidence on court at this moment and her opponent will be desperate to win. 23-year-old Yastremska moved back inside the top 30 for the first time since 2020 with her remarkable run to the semi-finals at the Australian Open last month but she struggled to maintain that intensity at the Linz Open before taking a few weeks out to regroup. The Ukrainian will be extra motivated against Russia’s Kudermetova due to the war in her country but it remains to be seen if a near three-week break from play has helped or hindered her. Given Kudermetova’s recent form, back Yastremska to earn at least a set despite trailing the 13th seed 0-2 in their head-to-head.
TIP: DAYANA YASTREMSKA TO WIN A SET
