Kenin Raising Form
Sofia Kenin is nowhere near a top 100 ranking right now but the American has been slowly raising her form with the hope of returning to a grand-slam winning record. She won the Australian Open a few years ago and then played another grand slam final but faltered with an injury after that.
She’s been attempting a comeback and it’s been going fairly solid lately with a couple of notable wins. She’s 5-5 on the year with most of her wins coming against lesser players but she defeated Liudmila Samsonova recently so it’s clear that she still can beat some of the best.
This one will be very tricky because her opponent plays a really tough game for the type of tennis Kenin enjoys playing.
She will need to serve at a decent level and play really strong from the baseline to avoid making any cheap mistakes. Bouzkova will send many balls back and she won’t commit too many mistakes which makes this a really tricky matchup for Kenin.

Bouzkova’s Slow Start in 2023
The Czech player had a really strong 2022 campaign but this year so far hasn’t been going that well. The type of surfaces she has played on might have something to do with it because she’s very vulnerable when playing on a quick surface.
Somewhat of a counter-puncher and defensive player, Bouzkova relies on getting many balls back and waiting for a mistake. She rarely attacks as it’s the norm on the WTA today which makes her tough to play for many players. The record is only 4-5 which doesn’t look promising after posting a 42-14 record last year.
She hasn’t played in Dubai in the past so both her and Kenin are a similar boat that way. She has ways to hurt the American though as her style of play generally is a great counter to the way Kenin plays.
She’ll need to execute the plan perfectly though and she hasn’t been to do that this year. She’s still capable of winning a match so don’t think that this is a matchup she can’t win. She’s slightly favoured after all.
Sofia Kenin v Marie Bouzkova Prediction and Tip
