THE PREDICTION
World number 15 Liudmila Samsonova endured a tough start to 2024 before bursting into life at the Abu Dhabi Open, where she beat fourth seed Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets before a three-set defeat to eventual champion Elena Rybakina. The 25-year-old lost in tight straight sets to Leylah Fernandez in the first round of the Qatar Masters this time last week to suggest that she is still not fully up to sped but a much kinder opener should see her roll through comfortably enough here in Dubai. World number 68 Viktoria Tomova is enjoying one of the best periods of her career on tour right now and she qualified handily this week to make the main draw. The Bulgarian reached the quarter-finals of the Hobart International last month but a three-match losing streak since suggests Samsonova will have too much firepower in her favoured conditions. Back the Russian to win in straight sets, as she did last summer in Bad Homburg.
TIP: LIUDMILA SAMSONOVA TO WIN 2-0
