THE PREDICTION

24-year-old Sofia Kenin should move back inside the top 50 on tour for the first time in two years after reaching the round of 16 at the Guadalajara Masters in form brought from her runner-up finish to Barbora Krejcikova in San Diego last week. The former number four looks ready to finally capitalise on the encouraging signs of resurgence displayed earlier this season and this should be a thrilling clash with Jelena Ostapenko. Former number five Ostapenko beat Marta Kostyuk in comfortable straight sets on Wednesday to claim a first win in two since Wimbledon back in July and that suggests she too is improving. The world number 16 leads Kenin 2-1 in their head-to-head record with victories in both of their hardcourt encounters but two of their clashes have seen sets go both ways. Consider taking this match to see three sets on its own of for Ostapenko to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
