Marie Bouzkova vs Paula Badosa prediction
Marie Bouzkova advanced to round two in Brisbane after getting past Jaqueline Cristian. The Czech wasn’t at her best, but she continued to create opportunities for herself as she broke on five occasions overall to win 6-4 6-3. The 27-year-old enjoyed some success last season and is a dangerous player when in form.
She faces Paula Badosa in round two. The Spaniard’s continuing struggles with injury saw her season end early at Wimbledon after a first-round defeat. She did attempt a comeback in September, competing at the Billie Jean King Cup and at the China Open, but she lost two of her three matches. Badosa is a quality player, and she began last season in such strong fashion, making the semi-finals of the Australian Open.
She also leads the head-to-head 3-0 against Bouzkova. Nevertheless, there are huge question marks on her fitness as she makes her return to competitive singles action, and Bouzkova is likely to prove a stern test.
