THE PREDICTION
World number 11 Caroline Garcia beat Hailey Baptiste in straight sets on Wednesday to avoid a likely upset as she starts to build, tentatively, a spot of form on tour. The 29-year-old was at the peak of her powers this time last season with four titles won in five months including the Cincinnati Masters and WTA Finals but she has looked a shadow of that for most of 2023, with her raw game requiring the utmost self-belief to work. Former number one Victoria Azarenka looks the slight favourite in this unpredictable clash after a consummate victory over Veronika Kudermetova made it three wins on the spin for the first time since her thrilling three-set exit to Elina Svitolina at Wimbledon. The 34-year-old has the experience required to make full use of Guadalajara’s seriously underpowered draw this week but Garcia is capable of beating anyone on tour if she could only find a little rhythm. The Frenchwoman leads their head-to-head record 3-1 but the pair have not met since 2020, when Azarenka claimed her first victory at the US Open. Back Azarenka to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors to leave a likely three-setter up to chance.
