THE PREDICTION
Former world number three Elina Svitolina took the first set from Coco Gauff before finishing runner-up in three to the defending champion last week in Auckland. The 29-year-old will be one of the most-followed stars at the Australian Open this fortnight after returning from maternity leave with a vengeance last summer, thrilling the tennis world with subsequent runs to the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros and semi-finals of Wimbledon with an incredible new brand of fearless, aggressive tennis. This looks a kind opener for the Ukrainian against Aussie wildcard Taylah Preston, who brings a career-high WTA world ranking of 203rd into the draw at 18 years old after enjoying some strong work on the ITF circuit late last year. Preston took a set from Caroline Garcia before defeat this week in Adelaide but Svitolina can be backed to avoid an upset here in straight sets.
TIP: ELINA SVITOLINA TO WIN 2-0
