Bencic Scrapes Past Kostyuk
Marta Kostyuk isn’t the easiest of opponents going around these days but Bencic would have still wanted to do a lot better than spend nearly three and a half hours on court trying to get past her.
In the end Bencic managed to just about squeeze through to the third round, winning 6-7 (7), 7-6 (5), 6-4 in a match that could have gone either way till the very end.
Bencic, who lost her serve four times in the encounter, missed out a chance to serve it out at 5-4 in the first set before Kostyuk pocketed it off her third set-point. Kostyuk then went 3-1 ahead in the second set only for Bencic to claw back and push the set into another tie-breaker.
This time around it was Bencic who edged forward and levelled the score.
The final set began with four successive breaks of serves but it was the decisive one in the seventh game that allowed Bencic to serve it out – and even there, she needed to endure three break-points before claiming the win.
Can Bencic, who had withdrawn from her Doha quarterfinal last week because of exhaustion, now find her way back to form?

Muchova Tames Cirstea in Second Round
Sorana Cirstea was coming off a shock victory over Beatriz Haddad Maia in her opening round match but that match seemed to have taken a lot out of her. She failed to repeat the dose against Muchova who won their second round match.
Muchova had earlier registered a two-set win over Bernarda Pera in her opener and while she needed two hours and 20 minutes to get past Cirstea, the Czech managed to do it without the help of a third set.
Cirstea took the early 3-1 lead but once Muchova broke back there was no looking back in the first set for the Czech. Twice in the second set it was Muchova who went up a break but both times her Romanian opponent managed to get the better of her serve soon after.
It was only in the ensuing tie-breaker that Muchova carved out her victory and marched on.
Can Muchova, who is 6-3 for the season, now upset the Bencic apple-cart too?
Bencic v Muchova Prediction and Tip
Bencic is 8/15 to win this and while we think she might not be at her best given her Doha withdrawal and the way she went about her previous win, those are just odds and she should seal the deal here.

- Low Risk Tip: Bencic to win: 8/15 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
