Daria Kasatkina vs Maria Sakkari prediction
Maria Sakkari arrives in Adelaide buoyed by some notable wins at the United Cup.
The Greek is eyeing a return to the top 50 after a difficult 2025 and opens with a sixth ever meeting with Daria Kasatkina.
The Australian has also endured a bit of a slump, losing her opener in Brisbane as part of a four match losing run alongside a premature end to 2025, leading to her dropping from inside the top 20 to 40 in the world.
Daria does own the head-to-head 4-1 but three encounters were on clay and the most recent one was a 2022 win on the grass for Sakkari.
Going by form, Sakkari will fancy her chances here and it may well be worth backing the upset, despite that old head-to-head being one-sided.
