Karolina Muchova is back to compete at the Qatar Open as the 14th seed and begins her tournament against the unseeded Jaqueline Cristian. This encounter scheduled for Sunday, is their second meeting of the season and fourth overall. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Cristian could be set for an early exit this week, going by her poor record against Muchova. The Romanian has never won in this fixture and was eliminated more recently in Melbourne by the Czech star.
Cristian has lost four matches in nine outings this season and has managed just one win in her last four fixtures. Coming off a second-round exit at the Transylvanian Open, Cristian has dropped to 36th place in the live ranking.
Karolina Muchova has not only never lost against Cristian but has also never relinquished a set against the Romanian. This dominant streak has her as the heavy favorite to win this tournament opener.
Muchova, a former Doha quarter-finalist, is having a strong season. She has won six of eight matches and has produced a four-round finish at the Australian Open and a semi-final run in Brisbane.
Her performances have seen her move into position 19 in the WTA world rankings.
