Dalma Galfi vs Clara Tauson prediction

Dalma Galfi has competed in one event so far this season. She managed to qualify for the main draw of the Adelaide International after wins over Ashlyn Krueger and Mina Hodzic. However, she lost in the first-round to Yulia Putintseva. She is currently ranked outside the top 50 and while she has had success at WTA 125 events last year, she struggles to make an impact at the bigger tournaments.

She faces Clara Tauson. The Dane is ranked inside the top 15 in the world but is yet to pick up her first win of the year. She lost in Brisbane to Aliaksandra Sasnovich and was then forced to retire from her match against Ajla Tomljanovic in Adelaide after an issue with her hamstring.

Tauson was tearful as she received treatment and there are question marks over her fitness on the eve of the tournament. Nevertheless, her game is strong enough to record a straight sets win here.
