THE LOWDOWN
World number three Jessica Pegula looks the main threat to Iga Swiatek’s title chances in Melbourne after beating the Pole at the United Cup two weeks ago and she laid down the gauntlet on Monday, conceding just one game to Jaqueline Cristian. The 28-year-old ended last season as a Masters titlist in Guadalajara to see several years of hard work pay off, with Swiatek beating her in the latter stages of four tournaments last year. The American has reached the quarter-finals in Melbourne in each of her previous two appearances and in four of her last eight Grand Slams.
THE PREDICTION
World number 38 Aliaksandra Sasnovich can be a top player on her day and the Belarussian has been something of a giant-killer in recent seasons. The 28-year-old avoided a potential banana skin on Monday in a straight-sets victory over 15-year-old Brenda Fruhvirtova but she has drawn the shortest straw in the WTA draw at this moment in time here and anything but a Pegula win in two would be a surprise.
