THE PREDICTION

Former world number two Petra Kvitova overcame a tough foe in Alison Van Uytvanck in straight sets on Monday for an encouraging start to the Australian Open. The 32-year-old won both of her Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014 but she finished runner-up to Naomi Osaka here as recently as 2019 and reached the quarter-finals a year later to suggest she remains a serious threat in Melbourne. World number 39 Anhelina Kalinina conceded just four games to qualifier Coco Vandeweghe in an excellent opener but the 25-year-old would much prefer this first meeting with Kvitova take place on her favoured clay. The conditions and crowd should favour a well-loved champion in Kvitova here and five wins already in 2023, including over world number three Jessica Pegula, say she can take this in straight sets.
