THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Karolina Pliskova came back from a set down to beat rising star Qinwen Zheng on Friday as she continues to return from the wilderness of her first half of the season. The 30-year-old finished runner-up here last season to Camila Giorgi just a few weeks after also losing out in the Wimbledon final to Ash Barty but she has struggled with form and fitness practically ever since, with some brief respite at the WTA Finals. The Czech has also beaten Barbora Krejcikova, Amanda Anisimova and Maria Sakkari this week for some welcome consistency that looks like breaking back into the top 10 but she will have to stay seriously level-headed here against in-form Beatriz Haddad-Maia. 26-year-old Haddad-Maia could start the Cincinnati Masters at world number 20, improving on her current career-high of 24th, no matter the outcome here but the Brazilian will have designs on the title here after stunning world number one Iga Swiatek in the round of 16. A victory over Belinda Bencic on Friday is a huge result against a former champion but there is Pliskova in full flow normally requires the very best tennis to defeat.
The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record after Haddad-Maia shocked the Czech last October at Indian Wells but take Pliskova to win at least a set as the just-about likelier victor in this mood. Three sets seem likely here and that could be a more valuable, riskier alternative.
