THE PREDICTION
World number 19 Veronika Kudermetova snapped a concerning three-set losing streak with a choppy three-set victory over wildcard Eugenie Bouchard on Wednesday. The 26-year-old should be better for stopping the rot but she has struggled for form since mid-June, where she finished runner-up to Ekaterina Alexandrova at the Libema Open before stunning Aryna Sabalenka in Berlin, and this looks a very steep step-up in quality. Former world number one Victoria Azarenka looks eager to make the most of a huge opportunity in Guadalajara, with only five players ranked higher than her left in the draw, and her experience at this level should come into its own against the more vulnerable talents like Kudermetova. The Russian leads their head-to-head 2-0 after coming back from a set down to beat Azarenka at Adelaide 1 back in January but backing Azarenka to earn at least a set looks the sensible way to lean in this potential thriller.
