Emiliana Arango vs Antonia Ruzic prediction
Emiliana Arango will hope to kickstart her form in Hobart.
The Colombian has only won one of her last seven after a surge to the Guadalajara final helped her reach a career high inside the top 50.
The seventh seed was comfortably beaten in her first match of 2026 in Brisbane and has a 0-2 record against next opponent Antonia Ruzic.
However, the Croatian has struggled for wins in main draws of late too and was beaten at the first hurdle in qualifying in Brisbane.
At 48 in the world, Arango sits 22 places above Ruzic and with neither player in the best of form, it’ll come down to who settles fastest.
The match-up suggests Ruzic can spring another upset, but it was a close affair in their last meeting in October in similar conditions, and Arango will have a strong desire and motivation to make it third time lucky.
