THE PREDICTION

World number 54 Caroline Dolehide enjoyed an excellent run to the third round of the Madrid Masters last time out, upsetting 30th seed Anhelina Kalinina in three sets before defeat to Yulia Putintseva. The 25-year-old burst into form at the Guadalajara Masters late last season to finish runner-up to Maria Sakkari but she has, quite understandably, struggled to maintain that intensity since. World number 77 Bernarda Pera’s own purple patch saw her win her first two WTA titles back-to-back, on her favoured clay, in the summer of 2022 and she set a career-high of 27th as a result. The 29-year-old is certainly the more comfortable of the two Americans in these conditions but a three-match losing streak on tour makes this a tough call. Back Pera to earn at least a set on her momentum from qualifying to leave this result up to chance.

TIP: BERNARDA PERA TO WIN A SET
