THE PREDICTION

Former world number four Sofia Kenin has moved back up to 31st in the WTA live rankings after overcoming Leylah Fernandez in three sets, backing-up some quality wins over Jelena Ostapenko and Anhelina Kainina. The 24-year-old looks to have rediscovered her self-belief on court and with it she is capable of threatening the top 10 again after several years in the wilderness, with last week’s runners up place in San Diego to Barbora Krejcikova a first final since 2020. 25-year-old Caroline Dolehide will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 60th after coming back from asset down to beat Martina Trevisan in what has become by far the biggest run of her career. Dolehide is also through to the semi-finals in the doubles alongside Asia Muhammad this week with the pair knocking out some very serious competition already.

The elder American has fought tooth and nail to be here with sets dropped in three of her four matches and that makes taking Kenin to earn at least a set the sensible move. Otherwise, whilst Dolehide’s momentum should not be underestimated, Kenin proved herself at this stage of San Diego last week and her experience at this level should win through.
