THE PREDICTION
World number 11 Paula Badosa passed a really significant test on Thursday as she continues to show signs of returning to her best level with a straight-sets victory over Beatriz Haddad-Maia. The Spaniard set a career-high WTA world ranking of second early last season before a steady decline but the 2021 Indian Wells champion has plenty of time to come good again at 25 years old. World number eight Daria Kasatkina. also 25, knows all about comebacks after returning to the top from several years in the wilderness herself. The Russian overcame an in-form Petra Kvitova in straight sets on Thursday to vastly increase her prospects ahead of the Australian Open and this should be a thrilling semi-final as a result. The pair met three times last season with Kasatkina claiming their most recent two matches in Rome and San Jose but Badosa took their first on her way to the Sydney Tennis Classic title 12 months ago. Similar conditions and resurgent confidence suggest the Spaniard can edge things here but backing her to earn at least a set looks the sensible way to avoid a winner.
