THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Caroline Dolehide set a career-high WTA world ranking of 41st after an incredible shock run to the Guadalajara Masters final, stunning the likes of Sofia Kenin and Ekaterina Alexandrova before finishing runner-up to Maria Sakkari. The American won her Grand Slam debut match at Roland-Garros back in 2018 but she has since lost all seven of her subsequent major appearances to heap pressure on this winnable fixture. World number 145 Leolia Jeanjean qualified the hard way this week to make her second-successive Melbourne appearance and she knows all about winning on her debut after reaching the third round at Roland-Garros in 2022.
The Frenchwoman would much prefer this first tour-level clash with Dolehide came on her favoured clay but Dolehide’s inflated ranking could prove more of a hindrance this season if she starts to struggle under the weight of it. Do not underestimate Jeanjean’s qualifying momentum here. Back Dolehide to win at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors.
