THE PREDICTION
World number 11 Maria Sakkari spilt with long-term coach Tom Hill last week as her enduring poor form showed no sign of slowing up, with a straight-sets victory over Emma Navarro on Tuesday an encouraging response. The 28-year-old dropped out of the top 10 for the first time in over two years but she only recently picked up the most prestigious title of her career, stunning an admittedly sparse field at the Guadalajara Masters last September, and she has tended to perform well at this period of the season. 28-year-old Jasmine Paolini should not be underestimated here, though, after two brilliant results over Beatriz Haddad-Maia and Leylah Fernandez. The Italian came set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 23rd with victory here, after some excellent steady progress over the past eight or so months, but Sakkari has something to prove and the game to overpower Paolini at her best. Back Sakkari to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: MARIA SAKKARI TO WIN A SET
