Elina Svitolina vs Linda Klimovicova prediction
Elina Svitolina advanced to the next stage of the Australian Open after a straight sets win over Cristina Bucsa. The Ukrainian was always in control, winning 6-4 6-1. She remains undefeated this season with six straight wins, having won the Auckland Open just over a week ago.
She faces Linda Klimovicova in round two. The 21-year-old got through as her first-round opponent Francesca Jones was forced to retire in the second set, with Klimovicova leading 6-2 3-2. This was her first ever victory in the main draw of a Grand Slam, and she is now on a four-match winning streak after all of her qualifying victories.
Svitolina is ranked over 120 places higher than her opponent and she is heavily favoured to come through this one and book a place in the third-round. Aside from her absence in 2023 due to maternity leave, Svitolina has reached round three or better of every edition in Melbourne since 2017.
