THE LOWDOWN
VARVARA GRACHEVA
Varvara Gracheva comes into this tournament ranked 82nd in the world - this is her career high. It comes on the back of an impressive run at Roland-Garros in the French Open where she reached the third round. Gracheva has had an impressive start to her young career and the 21 year-old Russian managed a third round appearance in the US Open in 2020.
NURIA PARRIZAS-DIAZ
An impressive qualification via the ever competitive qualifying tournament before the main event saw Nuria Parrizas-Diaz steamroller her way into the finals. She comes into this first round having won three straight set qualification matches. The 30 year-old Spaniard has never before qualified for a Grand Slam so she is entering the unknown.
THE PREDICTION
Nuria Parrizas Diaz comes into this after some excellent preparation in the qualification tournament but she will remain the underdog for this contest. These two have never met so head-to-head cannot inform the prediction. Despite being the underdog, Diaz will fancy her chances of bloodying her opponents nose so overs for games played looks the way to go for this one.
