THE PREDICTION

World number 33 Jil Teichmann navigated past a potential banana skin on Monday in a straight-sets win over in-form Harriet Dart and the Swiss should be considered a dark horse for a deep run in Melbourne. The 25-year-old is at her best on clay but she has impressed across all surfaces in recent seasons, with a notable run to the Cincinnati Masters final in 2021 ended by Ash Barty, Teichmann won the Billie Jean King Cup Finals with Switzerland late last season and that looks to have boosted both her and team-mate Belinda Bencic’s games so far in 2023. World number 87 Lin Zhu beat Rebecca Marino in impressive straight sets on Monday but the 28-year-old’s recent results suggest she is the reasonable underdog in this second round match. Teichmann should be able to take thin in straight sets but back her outright inside an accumulator.
