THE PREDICTION

World number 15 Jelena Ostapenko beat Beatriz Haddad-Maia, Sunday’s Canada Masters runner-up, in straight sets on Tuesday to make a big statement in Cincinnati. The 25-year-old has found some of her best, most consistent form this season with a fifth WTA title won at the Dubai Tennis Championships but recent defeats to Tatjana Maria and Alison Riske in three sets are evidence of her previous, somewhat brittle guise. World number 24 Madison Keys beat Yulia Putintseva in straight sets on Tuesday to settle some nerves at the Cincinnati Open after losing in the first round of Toronto last week. The 27-year-old was forced to retire after a set against Jelena Ostapenko recently at the Eastbourne International for a first loss to the Latvian and this looks a tricky call between two players with high ceilings and fluctuating levels. Three sets seem likelier than two here, and that option could be worth a one-off go, but backing Ostapenko to win at least one of them looks the sensible way to lean.
