THE PREDICTION
World number nine Veronika Kudermetova saved five match points to scrape past Danielle Collins in a quality match at Adelaide 2 on Thursday, only her second of the week after receiving a walkover to the quarter-finals. The 25-year-old also came back from a set down in her opener against Victoria Azarenka via a second-set tiebreak to suggest she is in the right frame of mind to go deep at the Australian Open, with last season’s quarter-final exit at Roland-Garros her best showing at a Grand Slam so far. World number 13 Belinda Bencic, also 25, played well into the early hours to beat world number four Caroline Garcia in one of her best results for some time and this should be a thrilling semi-final between two players who know each other’s games well. Bencic leads their head-to-head record 5-2 at tour level after taking two of their three meetings last season in St. Petersburg and Berlin but the Russian is in the form of her career right now. Kudermetova has taken at least a set in each of their last six encounters on tour, making that option the suitable way to avoid picking a winner here.
