Third seed Cori Gauff and the unseeded Anna Kalinskaya meet this week for their second-ever meeting in Dubai. They will square off in the second round, with the winner tackling either Elise Mertens or Emma Navarro for a place in the quarter-finals. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Cori Gauff has lost her last two matches. After dropping out of the Australian Open in the quarter-finals, Gauff, who was visibly upset at that result, returned to the tour last week in Doha.
In Qatar, the world number three fell in straight sets to Elisabetta Cocciaretto in her tournament opener. Last season, Gauff lost in the second round in Dubai after making it to at least the quarters in her first three appearances.
Anna Kalinskaya finished as runner-up in her debut in Dubai two seasons ago. In the semi-finals of that edition, the Russian eliminated Gauff in three sets.
In her return last season, however, she was unable to produce another deep run, as she was ousted in the first round. Klinskaya, who arrived in Dubai after an exciting run to the quarter-finals in Doha, defeated Jelena Ostapenko 2-1 in the first round.
The world number 23 has now won seven of 11 matches this term and has one win against a top 10 player.

Our Coco Gauff vs Anna Kalinskaya Prediction
Gauff is experiencing a dip in form; she's lost her last two matches. In both fixtures, she failed to win a set. Kalinskaya, on her part, won her opening round tie this week and has been defeated just once in her last five matches.
However, what gives Kalinskaya the edge here is her head-to-head advantage over Gauff. The Russian defeated Gauff in three sets in Dubai in their only previous encounter. She has also had some strong performances this season against top 10 players. Our prediction for Cori Gauff v Anna Kalinskaya is that Anna Kalinskaya wins.
