As one of the highest-ranked players in the tournament, Jelena Ostapenko was given a first-round bye and will now get her WTA Guadalajara campaign underway on Thursday, when she'll be up against Marina Stakusic, who looked down and out against Polina Kudermetova during the first round, before pulling off what was a remarkable comeback. That win from Stakusic against Kudermetova really was fantastic, with the Canadian losing the first set, before trailing by four games to one in the second set, but she refused to give up, raising her game markedly to secure the second set, before wrapping up the win in the third. That big effort should leave her feeling confident ahead of a match against a player that hasn't hit the court competitively in a fortnight.Limited Offer. Currently at FanDuel

Our Jelena Ostapenko vs Marina Stakusic Prediction
I'll be the first to admit that I did not see Marina Stakusic's comeback win against Polina Kudermetova coming, but off the back of that fine turnaround, I really wouldn't be shocked if the Canadian made life tough for Jelena Ostapenko, who has shown a clear pattern of struggling to dominate matches of this nature. Ostapenko is very, very good when she's at her best, but she's had lots of issues over the last year or so, while she regularly struggles to shoulder the pressure of being a heavy favorite. Stakusic has also had the benefit of playing four matches at this event already, while this will be the Latvian's first. Our Jelena Ostapenka vs Marina Stakusic Pick: Marina Stakusic +1.5 Set Handicap.
