THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Zhuoxuan Bai set a career-high WTA world ranking of 83rd in March, off the back of an excellent end to last season on the ITF circuit, and she could be quite the handful for Caroline Dolehide in their first encounter after squeaking through to her maiden Masters match as a lucky loser. The Chinese replaced compatriot Yafan Wang last minute on Wednesday to give world number 56 Dolehide the thankless task of recalibrating for a new opponent, who in turn will be boosted by a second wind after just missing out to Sara Bejlek in three sets in qualifying. 25-year-old Dolehide made the second round in Charleston earlier this month, before a competitive exit to Beatriz Haddad-Maia, but the American has struggled to find the same intensity that saw her stun the filed to reach the Guadalajara Masters final last August. Leave this match out of an accumulator but otherwise back Bai to earn at least a set on that second wind.
TIP: ZHUOXUAN BAI TO WIN A SET
