THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Elina Avanesyan will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of around 60th after stunning the eighth seed, Maria Sakkari, in straight sets late on Wednesday night. The Russian came back from a set down to beat Zhuoxuan Bai on Sunday to improve on some tough recent form but she has one more round to go before she can emulate her excellent run to the round of 16 on her Roland-Garros debut last summer.
World number 37 Marta Kostyuk has laboured through two tough three-setters to oust Claire Liu and Elise Mertens so far in Melbourne and she will be the popular player to back in this first encounter with Avanesyan with the backdrop of the war in her country adding an extra level of motivation for the Ukrainian. 21-year-old Kostyuk has reached the third round of the Australian Open for the fourth time in her young career, and a third on the spin, to look ready for the jump. Back Kostyuk to edge a likely tight three-setter with the crowd’s wishes.
TIP: MARTA KOSTYUK TO WIN
