Muguruza is off to a shaky start to the year. She advanced to the second round of the Sydney Tennis Classic after receiving a first-round bye at the start of the competition. In the quarter-finals, however, she was defeated by Daria Kasatkina in straight sets. Despite the upsetting and unexpected loss, she went into the 2022 Australian Open as a title contender, however, she was eliminated in the second round by Alize Cornet.

In her most recent event in Dubai, Veronika Kudermetova defeated her in the round of 16. She is, however, performing admirably at the Qatar Open. She breezed through her first two opponents, winning both in straight sets with ease.

Ostapenko didn’t have the ideal start to the season, but her performance has improved dramatically till now. She began her campaign in Sydney, where she was defeated in her maiden match. She advanced to the third round of the Australian Open but lost to fourth-seeded Barbora Krejcikova. She then advanced to the semi-finals in St. Petersburg, where she lost to second-seeded Anett Kontaveit.

Her finest performance of the season was in her previous tournament, which she won in Dubai. This tournament has benefited from her momentum. She defeated second-seeded Barbora Krejcikova in the round of 16 in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.

Although Muguruza has a head to head lead over Ostapenko, she isn’t in the same form and shape now. Her performance has gotten better in Doha but Ostapenko has been impeccable this year and will likely be taking her revenge in this match. Muguruza will try to give her best performance so expect an incredible match.

Prediction: Ostapenko to win in three sets.
