Caroline Garcia has been having a hard time since the beginning of this year. She lost in the first round in Abu Dhabi and Doha, and it seems she’s struggling to play her best. This has been going on for a while now, in her last six tournaments, she couldn’t go far in the competition like she used to. Because of this, her ranking has dropped a bit, and she’s now just outside the top 20.
Even though she did well in Dubai before, reaching the semifinals in 2016 and the quarterfinals in 2018, she needs to find her best form in her 10th time at the tournament. On the other hand, her opponent, Ashlyn Krueger is facing her own challenges in the tennis journey. She has so far lost in the first round in four out of five tournaments that she has played this year.

Even though she tried her best in Doha against Paula Badosa, being consistent in the main draw is still tough for her. Despite being new to tennis, she has already faced many tough situations, with most of her main draw appearances ending in the first round. However, she had a big win in Naomi Osaka at a WTA 250 event, showing that she has the potential to play really well.
Krueger vs Garcia: Head-to-head
Interestingly, these two superstars haven’t faced each other yet, thus this will be their very first encounter against each other. Interestingly, it will present them a chance to make an early lead in the head-to-head competition and also make their way into the next round of the tournament.
Prediction: In a gripping encounter, Caroline Garcia could make her way into the next round
The upcoming battle will be a face-off between someone who has played a lot of tennis (Garcia) and someone who is new and eager to do well (Krueger). Garcia knows Dubai well, and that might help her a bit, but Krueger has been doing well recently against strong players.
