THE PREDICTION
World number 49 Alison Riske-Amritraj takes a five-match losing streak into the first round of the Australian Open, stretching back to a strong run to the round of 16 at the US Open. The 32-year-old reached that stage here in Melbourne back in 2020 but her best showing at a Grand Slam is a quarter-final exit at Wimbledon back in 2019. 23-year-old Marketa Vondrousova set a career-high WTA world ranking of 14th that year after finishing runner-up to Ash Barty at Roland-Garros. The Czech missed the majority of last season with an injury that sees her currently ranked at world number 86 but she has reached at least the third round here in Melbourne in each of her last two seasons and she brings the better form into this first meeting with Riske-Amritraj with a solid run to the quarter-finals at Adelaide 1 two weeks ago. Three sets seem likelier than two here so back Vondrousova to earn at least one of them and leave the victor up to chance.
