Muguruza hasn’t had the best start to the year. After obtaining a first-round bye at the start of the tournament, she advanced to the second round of the Sydney Tennis Classic. However, she was eliminated in straight sets by Daria Kasatkina in the third round. Despite the disappointing and unexpected defeat, she entered the Australian Open as a title contender, but Alize Cornet knocked her out in the second round, 6-3, 6-3. Veronika Kudermetova defeated her in the round of 16 in her most recent tournament in Dubai. Muguruza hasn’t been able to duplicate her prior year’s performance. To make a mark in Qatar, she’ll have to step up her game.

The Romanian, ranked 30th, advanced to the second round after defeating Mayar Sherif 6-2, 6-1. Cirstea hasn’t had a very good year. She began the season by losing her second match at the Gippsland Trophy. She then failed to win a single round in Adelaide. She did, however, surprise everyone by reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open, overcoming Petra Kvitova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the way. She was then defeated by Iga Swiatek. Her previous tournament was the St. Petersburg Open, where she lost in straight sets against Anett Kontaveit in the second round.

The athletes have played against each other four times and are familiarized with each other’s games. Muguruza has a distinct edge over her, having defeated her on all previous occasions. She appears to know her way around Cirstea and has always beaten her in straight sets. Even though the Spaniard isn’t at her best, Muguruza’s winning run is unlikely to be broken in this match.

Prediction: Muguruza to win in straight sets.
