Halep has dominated their previous encounters, last defeating her compatriot in the 2022 WTA Melbourne 1 to take a 2-0 lead.

Ruse Outperforms Badosa
Elena-Gabriela Ruse kickstarted her campaign in Dubai with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 win over Paula Badosa in two and a half hours. By knocking out the World No. 5, Ruse has also delivered her first top 10 win of her career.
It was a well-fought affair between the two players but the 24-year-old Romanian won the crucial points and eventually made it to round two.
Ruse incurred a meteoric rise last season she reached the top 90, all the way from the #177 position in November 2020. Her highlights include winning the title in the Hamburg European Open and the runner-up feat in the WTA Palermo. However, in bigger WTA events, Ruse was beaten in the early rounds.
Nonetheless, she has shown a great deal of promise and resilience to become the world number 59.

Halep Off to a Scintillating Start
Simona Halep made easy work of Alison Riske in the opener as she overcame the American with 6-2, 6-4.
A champion here in 2020 and 2015, the 30-year-old is on the prowl for her third title in Dubai. So far this season, her form has been quite assuring – at least enough to get her to the penultimate rounds.
Halep started the season with a title run in Melbourne 1 and followed it with a fourth-round appearance in the Australian Open.
She is now World No. 23 – something which is quite unusual for her since she has spent the majority of her career in the top 10. However, last season, injuries kept her away from most of the action and as a result, she lost her momentum.
Halep returned to the scene in full spirits only in August and started rebuilding her form. She ended the year with a runner-up trophy in Cluj-Napoca and a semifinal stint in Linz.
Halep v Ruse Prediction and Tip
Ruse may be off to a good start but this is where her journey is likely to end. While her game has improved considerably from the previous season, she still has ways to go when it comes to beating an experienced, former world number one player like Simona Halep.
Tip: Halep to win 2-0: 4/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
