THE PREDICTION
33-year-old Arantxa Rus finally won her maiden WTA title at the Hamburg Open last summer and she is just a few wins a way from another career milestone as she targets a first foray into the top 40. The Dutchwoman reached the quarter-finals of the Transylvania Open last week before a tight defeat to eventual runner-up Ana Bogdan and she stands a decent chance at a run here in Doha as she takes on Petra Martic on a three-match losing streak. Martic, also 33, is far better than her current deflated ranking of 67th suggests but she has started 2024 off poorly despite ending last season with some eye-catching performances. It is remarkable that these two veterans have yet to meet on the WTA tour but recent results suggest that Rus can edge it, particularly away from Martic’s favoured clay. Back Rus to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: ARANTXA RUS TO WIN A SET
