Arantxa Rus and Petra Martic will play in the 1/32 finals of the hard court tournament in Doha, Qatar. Rus has been playing excellent tennis this season, reaching the quarterfinals in Hobart and Romania on indoor courts. She has also shown a good performance representing her country in the United Cup. In contrast, Martic is out of form and has been showing modest results, including an early loss in Linz. This gives Rus an advantage and good chances of winning. Therefore, my prediction is a victory for Rus.
In the upcoming match between Arantxa Rus and Petra Martic, a closely-fought contest can be expected. Arantxa Rus has shown a more consistent performance this season, having more match practice. She reached the quarterfinals at the United Cup, made it to the quarterfinals in Hobart as well, reached the second round at the Australian major, and achieved a quarterfinal result at the indoor tournament in Romania last week. On the other hand, Petra Martic is not in the best form. She only reached the quarterfinals in Auckland and was knocked out in the first round of the Australian Open. She also failed to advance far in the recent tournament in Linz, where she had no wins. Considering these factors, it can be assumed that Arantxa Rus has a slight advantage in this match. She has shown more consistent play and has better recent results. Additionally, Petra Martic has never advanced beyond the first round in Qatar. Therefore, it is recommended to bet on Arantxa Rus with a game handicap (+3.5) in this match. This allows for some insurance considering Petra Martic's uneven form. Let's hope that Arantxa Rus can capitalize on these factors and put up a good performance against Petra Martic.
