Donna Vekic vs Mirra Andreeva prediction
Donna Vekic is down at 70 in the world after poor results for the majority of 2025. A run to the fourth-round of the Australian Open boosted her ranking to a career high of 17 at the start of last year and she also reached the same stage of two WTA 1000 events in Indian Wells and Madrid, but she struggled with results after. Vekic failed to win back-to-back matches at an event for six months, only achieving it right at the end of the season.
She has a tough task in round one as she faces Mirra Andreeva. The Russian has already won a title this season after her victory in Adelaide, beating fellow youngster Victoria Mboko in the final. The world number eight reached the round-of-16 at the Australian Open last year.
The preparation from Andreeva has been perfect in the lead up to this, and she has the tools in her game to beat Vekic efficiently.
