THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Marta Kostyuk brings a career-high WTA world ranking of 26th into Miami after an excellent run to the semi-finals of Indian Wells last week, where she beat Anastasia Potapova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova before defeat to eventual champion Iga Swiatek. The Ukrainian has really found her feet this season after promising top 30 form for several seasons on tour but she missed an opportunity to win a first WTA 500 title in San Diego earlier this month, beating top seed Jessica Pegula before losing to Katie Boulter from a set up. World number 57 Arantxa Rus beat Sara Sorribes Tormo handily on Wednesday but this should be too steep of a step-up for the veteran, who has enjoyed some of her better tennis at tour level since finally winning her first title in Hamburg last summer. Kostyuk has needed top 30 quality, past-and-present, to beat her so far in 2024 and she can be backed to maintain that stat with a straight-sets win here.
TIP: MARTA KOSTYUK TO WIN 2-0
