Belinda Bencic is back on the tour competing in Dubai as the ninth seed and begins her tournament against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. This will be their first career meeting. Read on for our prediction for this match.
Bencic has ended a three-week break from the tour and arrives much rested as she seeks a second title in Dubai. The Swiss star, who was crowned champion in 2019, hasn’t played since a shock early exit at the Australian Open.
Bencic arrived in Melbourne after a successful United Cup with Switzerland. She won her opening round tie against Katie Boulter but was ousted in the very next round by teenage star Nikola Bartunkova.
Bencic starts the week down to 13th in the live ranking.
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro is having a poor start to 2026 and, through four matches, has won just once. The Spaniard’s sole win, however, was a shock 2-1 success over Cori Gauff, the biggest win of her career thus far, at the United Cup.
Bouzas Maneiro arrives in Dubai, where she is making her debut, seeking to snap a three-match losing streak. She lost in Hobart, Melbourne, and Doha without winning a set.
This negative run has seen her drop to 48th in the live ranking.
