Julia Grabher vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto prediction
Julia Grabher is ranked 92 in the world on the eve of the Australian Open. She began her season at the Auckland Open but lost in round one to Sinja Kraus in straight sets. She followed that up with a loss in the second stage of qualifying for the Hobart International, as she was defeated by Caty McNally in straight sets.
She faces Elisabetta Cocciaretto in round one. The Italian comes into this on the back of arguably the greatest triumph in her career so far, as she won the Hobart International as qualifier. This was her second career title on the WTA Tour. Cocciaretto won seven matches in total, beating teenager Iva Jovic 6-4 6-4 in the final.
The title in Hobart is a significant boost of confidence for Cocciaretto, and she will hope to continue the momentum with a strong showing in Melbourne. She will be the firm favourite to win against Grabher.
