Rebecca Sramkova vs Taylah Preston prediction

Taylah Preston stole some early Hobart headlines with a shock victory over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

The 20-year-old wildcard wowed the home crowds with a 6-4 7-6 success over the Spanish fifth seed to claim just the third main draw win of her career.

The Aussie’s reward is a showdown with Rebecca Sramkova, who edged Varvara Gracheva 6-4 4-6 6-2 in a predictably close showdown.

At number 72 in the world Siniakova sits 132 places above Preston on the WTA ladder and certainly has the experience and nous to burst the youngster’s bubble.

That said, Taylah can play freely and while Sramkova is a clear favourite with the bookies, it could be worth looking at the underdog taking at least a set for better value.
