THE LOWDOWN
Former world number four Bianca Andreescu burst onto the scene in 2019 at 19 years old to win her first WTA title at Indian Wells, going on to claim the Canada Masters on home soil and then her greatest trophy to date at the US Open. The current world number 43 is on one of her more encouraging returns from injury after missing much of the past four years in various states of recovery – with this only her third appearance in Melbourne. Andreescu got past a proper early test on Monday in an eye-catching straight sets win over Marie Bouzkova but she has yet to make it past the second round at the Australian Open.
THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Cristina Bucsa broke into the top 100 on tour for the first time this week after an excellent qualifying campaign to make only her fifth Grand Slam appearance. The Spaniard came back from a set down well to beat Eva Lys on Monday but this first meeting with a hungry-looking Andreescu should be too steep a climb. Back the Canadian to win in straight sets.
