WTA DOHA 

KALINSKAYA TO BEAT RISKE @ 2.20 

Kalinskaya has been in the better recent form with an 8-2 win-loss record compared to Riske’s 4-6 record. Their respective win/loss records on hard courts read 19-6 for Kalinskaya compared to Riske 14-14. I see no reason why American is the favourite here.

KALININA TO BEAT BRADY @ 3.0 

Kalinina 15-8 main tour win-loss record on hard courts, Brady compares at 10-13 and the key to this match I think is Kalinina’s aggressive return game as Brady relies on her serve and the Ukrainian will put a lot of pressure on that part of her game.
