THE PREDICTION

Former world number 19 Karolina Muchova is looking good in Auckland so far after two comfortable victories over Xiyu Wang and Elena-Gabriela Ruse. The current world number 151 has a long road ahead of her to return to the top 20 but it will not be for want of her ability, with her body consistently letting her down at key moments over the last few seasons. 23-year-old Rebeka Masarova will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 118th after a comfortable victory over Anna Blinkova backed up a career-best result shock win over Sloane Stephens on Tuesday. Despite the Spaniard’s clear improvements on last season this first meeting with Muchova should be too steep a climb. Back the Czech to win in straight sets but leave her matches out of accumulators for the foreseeable considering her fitness issues.
