Peyton Stearns vs Barbora Krejcikova prediction

Barbara Krejcikova heads into battle in Hobart on the back of some solid wins in the United Cup. 

The Czech meets Peyton Stearns for the first time and will be confident she is more match-ready than the American, who suffered a shock loss to qualifier Kaitlin Quevedo in her first outing since September.

Stearns has seen her ranking plummet from a career high of 28 in May down to 64, last tasting victory at the US Open in August. 

The 24-year-old will no doubt find form and fitness again soon, but this may come too soon against a two-time Grand Slam champion who is a match for most players when she has a run of tournaments without injury.
