Polina Kudermetova vs Guiomar Maristany Zuleta De Reales prediction
Polina Kudermetova heads into the Australian Open on the back of some strong form, having made the final of a Challenger event in Canberra. The world number 150 won four matches in a row before a loss against Joanna Garland. This was a step in the right direction for the 22-year-old after a poor 2025, which saw her embark on a losing run during the middle part of the campaign.
She faces Guiomar Maristany Zuleta De Reales in the first-round. The Spaniard, who is ranked 34 places below Kudermetova, is set to make her first main draw start at a Grand Slam. She won all three of her qualifying matches to advance.
This is a golden opportunity for either player to advance to round two of a major. Both players have wins under their belt, but Kudermetova has greater experience on the big stage and will start as the favourite.
