THE PREDICTION
World number 61 Alize Cornet set a career-high WTA ranking of 11th way back in 2009, the same year she set her best Grand Slam exit at the round of 16 stage here in Melbourne. The 31-year-old has struggled for form so far this year and takes a three-match losing streak into the first round to face world number 118 Viktoriya Tomova, who could be a threat here after a strong qualifying round. The 26-year-old dropped just the one set as the qualifying fifth seed and she was the winner in the only previous meeting between the two players over three sets at the Osaka Open back in 2019. Cornet should be able to find a way through here but take Tomova to win at least a set.
