Petra has a career hardcourt record of 249-122 while being 13-8 on the surface this year and having a 22-15 season record coming into the match. Garcia is 180-152 on hardcourts across his career and has a 10-8 record for the season on the surface while being 34-16 for the season across all surfaces. Looking at these numbers and their recent form, Garcia looks the one to claim the title as her form is certainly better than Petra over the last couple of months. However, expect some brilliance resistance from Petra to keep the match balanced till end.

Prediction: Caroline Garcia to win in 3-sets.
