Elsa Jacquemot vs Marta Kostyuk prediction
Elsa Jacquemot has failed to make a key impact in either of her warm up events in the lead up to the Australian Open. She competed in Brisbane but lost in the first-round to Ajla Tomljanovic in straight sets, and fell at the same hurdle in Hobart after a similarly disappointing defeat to Magdalena Frech. She is currently ranked 58 in the world.
She plays Marta Kostyuk in the first-round. Kostyuk began her season in strong fashion as she made it all the way to the final in Brisbane. This included three fantastic wins over top 10 opponents, as she beat world number three Amanda Anisimova, world number eight Mirra Andreeva and world number six Jessica Pegula along the way. She was unable to claim the title after a defeat to Aryna Sabalenka.
Kostyuk was performing at a high level in Brisbane and will be a threat to most players in the draw if she replicates that form in Melbourne. She will be an overwhelming favourite to win comfortably here.
