THE PREDICTION
Former world number 19 Karolina Muchova had to withdraw from the Dubai Tennis Championships at the quarter-final stage last time out but it was another encouraging week for the Czech as she continues her quest to return to the top of the sport after suffering endless injuries over the last few years. The 26-year-old has needed the likes of Danielle Collins and Caroline Garcia to beat her, each in three sets, in recent weeks to suggest she is the favourite to win this first meeting with Yulia Putintseva but both players are particularly unpredictable. World number 42 Putintseva beat Bianca Andreescu and took in-form Beatriz Haddad-Maia to three sets at the Qatar Open last month to suggest three sets are likelier than two here, especially as Muchova’s fitness is up for debate. Back Muchova to win outright but definitely leave this match out of an accumulator.
