Maddison Inglis vs Iga Swiatek prediction
Maddison Inglis was handed a walkover in the third-round as a result of Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal. The Australian is now through to the round-of-16 of a major for the first time in her career. The qualifier has beaten Kimberly Birrell and Laura Siegemund in her opening two matches.
She faces six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek next. The Pole dropped her first set of the tournamentin round three but still got past Anna Kalinskaya to keep her hopes of a Career Grand Slam alive. Swiatek’s game deserted her in the second set after a strong start, but she regrouped and dominated the decider to win 6-1 1-6 6-1.
The world number two leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a comfortable victory in Adelaide five years ago. Swiatek has not been at her best in the opening rounds, but she will be looking to raise her game for the latter rounds of the tournament, and she should have far too much for Inglis.
Maddison Inglis vs Iga Swiatek tip: Under 18.5 games
