THE PREDICTION
The story of world number seven Aryna Sabalenka’s season has been double faults as the 24-year-old continues to struggle with her most potent weapon. Sabalenka posted 34 double faults for 10 aces last week at the Canada Masters in a significant improvement on her Citi Open campaign and she almost found a way past Coco Gauff in a three-set epic defeat in the round of 16 nonetheless. Until the Belarussian gets to grips with her game she will almost certainly come off the worst against top 20, even top 30, players but 23-year-old Anna Kalinskaya will fancy het chances at the upset here after recent results over Simona Halep and most recently Martina Trevisan on Tuesday. The Russian will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 60th no matter the outcome here but given Sabalenka’s poor year so far backing Kalinskaya to win at least a set looks a reasonable risk.
