Belinda Bencic vs Aoi Ito Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Dubai Tennis Championships
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Unseeded Belinda Bencic begins her Dubai Tennis Championship campaign on Sunday. The Swiss player takes on qualifier Aoi Ito in round one of this outdoor hard court tournament. Can Ito cause an upset? Here's our match prediction.
Bencic won the Abu Dhabi Open in her last tournament. The winner of this match faces eighth seed Emma Navarro in round two of this WTA 1000 tournament.
In the live rankings, Bencic is 66th as the 27-year-old makes her way back up the rankings after time off due to injury. The former world number four has won 12 of her 15 matches this year. In Abu Dhabi, her wins included victories over Marketa Vondrousova and Elena Rybakina.
Aoi Ito has won nine matches in 2025 but is yet to win a main draw WTA Tour match this year. 2025 began well for her as Ito won the ITF tournament held in Canberra, Australia. All her wins since then have come in qualifying rounds.
That's been the case in this tournament and the 20-year-old had good wins over Taylor Townsend and Ashlyn Krueger, who Bencic beat in the Abu Dhabi final. Her qualifying wins have taken Ito to 116th in the live rankings.
We tip Bencic to win this in straight sets.

Our Belinda Bencic vs Aoi Ito Prediction
It's been a good year so far for Belinda Benic. The Swiss player was a quarter-finalist in the Australian Open and then won the title in Abu Dhabi. Playing in that final led to her withdrawing from last week's tournament in Doha.
The first round in Dubai sees Bencic face the qualifier Aoi Ito whose best results this year have come on the ITF circuit. Last week saw her lose at this stage in Doha to Jelena Ostapenko. Our Belinda Bencic v Aoi Ito prediction is Belinda Bencic to win in straight sets.
