Prediction for the match between Karolina Pliskova and Zhang Shuai: Pliskova missed the semifinals in the last tournament due to a back injury, but has already shown a high level of play. Zhang Shuai had a disappointing last season and has little match practice. On the fast hard court in Dubai, the advantage will be with Pliskova and her powerful serve. A low total number of games is expected in the match. Prediction: total under 20 games.
