THE PREDICTION
12th seed Belinda Bencic made it five wins on the spin with a blistering first round result over Viktoriya Tomova on Tuesday. The 25-year-old won the seventh title of her career with a brilliant campaign at Adelaide 2 last week and she is being touted as a genuine title contender in Melbourne as her tennis has been markedly improving in recent months. Bencic reached the semi-finals of the US Open as recently as 2019 and the quarter-finals two years later, losing on both occasions to eventual champions Bianca Andreescu and Emma Raducanu. 22-year-old Claire Liu beat Madison Brengle in a kind opener on Tuesday and she should set a new career-high WTA world ranking of around 50th no matter the outcome here but it looks like far too steep a climb at present. Bencic dropped one set in Adelaide last week to world number four Caroline Garcia and she can be backed to take this in two.
