Linda Fruhvirtova vs Tereza Valentova prediction

Linda Fruhvirtova defeated Lulu Sun in straight sets to advance to round two of the Australian Open. Fruhvirtova overcame an early deficit in the first set to take the lead. She went a break down once more in the second but broke twice in quick succession to serve for the match at 5-3. Despite wasting that opportunity, she closed it out at the second attempt to win 6-3 7-5.

Tereza Valentova is her next opponent. The Czech produced a fine display in round one to get past Maya Joint. The Australian received plenty of home support, but Valentova was relentless when it came to creating chances on Joint’s serve, with 17 break point opportunities in total. The 18-year-old wrapped up an impressive 6-4 6-4 win after one hour and 32 minutes.

The teenager is developing at a rapid rate, and she’ll be the favourite to get past Fruhvirtova and advance to the third-round of a slam for the first time.
