The final tournament of this year\u2019s Middle East Swing begins at the WTA Dubai Tennis Championships with 12 entertaining matches on the slate on day one in the UAE. As ever, we here at LWOT will be offering our predictions for every match on the slate, including Linda Noskova vs Ann Li<\/a>. But who will advance?<\/p>\n Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n Janice Tjen is having a massive challenge replicating what she did last year when she put together a career-best season. She broke into the top 50 and won her maiden WTA title. She\u2019s struggled to push higher-ranked players at this level, having lost five times this season. That inconsistency could point to a confidence gap, and Dayana Yastremska will look to capitalize. The Ukrainian punishes short balls with remarkable efficiency, and if she can limit her unforced errors, expect her to find a way here.<\/p>\nWTA Dubai Day 1 Predictions<\/h2>\n
