Iga Swiatek

Polish star Iga Swiatek is back with his ruthless form after a patchy start to the season. Before Dubai, she clinched the Qatar Open title, which was a cakewalk for her. In the Dubai Tennis Championship, she has yet to lose a set. 

World No. 1 Swiatek has made it clear that she has forgotten the unsuccessful run in the Australian Open earlier and is ready to have yet another dominant year. In the semifinal round, she handed a drubbing to Coco Gauff, extending her head-to-head lead over the American teenager to 6-0.

Barbora Krejcikova, on the other hand, did not have a smooth ride in her Middle Eastern run before reaching the final. Qatar Open proved a disaster for her when she lost to Veronika Kudermeotva in the second round. In Dubai, she had to fight hard to overcome her rivals. Though defeating World No. 2 and 2023 Australian Open Champion Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinal has boosted her confidence.

Barbora Krejčíková

Both Swiatek and Krejcikova are prepared to give each other a tough fight. Swiatek is known for her merciless treatment of her opponents. While the 2021 French Open champion can produce an unexpected result when she is in her top game. 

When comparing the experience of big games, three-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek definitely has the advantage over the Czech. In the head-to-head chart as well, Swiatek leads Krejcikiva by 2-1. Still, Krejcikova is one of the two women who have defeated Swiatek in a WTA final. 

Prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in 2 sets.
