THE PREDICTION
The opening clash between Tallon Griekspoor and Borna Coric of this vital tie is very difficult to call but, considering Coric is on the route back from injury, we can assume that the Netherlands are 1-0 up ahead of this match. World number 24 Donna Vekic needed three sets to beat Norway’s severe underdog, Melene Helgo, suggesting this is not as open-and-shut as it looks against world number 51 Arantxa Rus, but she should cope well under the pressure given her efforts to win the Hopman Cup alongside Coric last summer. 33-year-old Rus beat Helgo in straight sets on Saturday to give the Netherlands the bedrock for an impressive win in the doubles but she has lost both of her previous meetings with Vekic, including at tour level back in 2020. International tennis can bring the best out of players like Rus, who has spent the majority of her career off of the main tour, but back Vekic to edge through a likely nervy encounter.
TIP: DONNA VEKIC TO WIN
