THE PREDICTION
World number 21 Caroline Garcia brings a three-match losing streak into the Dubai Masters as she continues to fluctuate wildly between her brilliant best and some hugely avoidable exits on tour. The 30-year-old was emphatic in victory over Naomi Osaka at the Australian Open last month but she lost just as quickly in the second round to waste an opportunity, with last week’s defeat to the returning Osaka something of an inevitability. World number 74 Ashlyn Krueger took Paula Badosa to three sets last week in Doha and she was handed a wildcard to the main draw in Dubai for her efforts, just one place behind her career-high of 73rd. The 19-year-old won her maiden WTA title at the Osaka Open last September to prove her big-game potential and she will be well aware of her opponent’s brittleness in this first encounter. The suitably cautious pick is backing Garcia to earn at least a set but in that case consider a one-off on Krueger to earn one of her own, if not cause an upset.
TIP: ASHLYN KRUEGER TO WIN A SET
