THE PREDICTION

21-year-old wildcard Back Da-yeon came back from a set down to stun second seed Jelena Ostapenko on Tuesday, claiming an incredible WTA tour debut on home soil. The Korean reached back-to-back finals in home ITF events in recent weeks to bring some strong form into Seoul but beating Ostapenko, who only recently stunned Iga Swiatek at the US Open, in a deciding tiebreak has to be one of the upsets of the season. World number 102 Kimberly Birrell beat Sachia Vickery in straight sets on Tuesday to get a strong foothold in at the Korea Open but she will have to play with composure as the villain of this piece. The sensible call is taking Birrell to earn at least a set to leave the result up to chance but consider a small one-off on Back to thrill home crowds with another victory.
