THE PREDICTION

This looks a great opportunity for one of Katie Volynets and Evgeniya Rodina to make a rare foray into the second round of a Grand Slam. 21-year-old Volynets battled through a trio of three-set wins in qualifying to suggest she is ready for another fight here in her second -ever Australian Open appearances and that could be the difference in this first meeting between the two. 33-year-old Rodina returned to the tour from retirement at the US Open last summer and won her opener against Martina Trevisan before an impressive three-set defeat to Ajla Tomljanovic. The Russian’s last tour match was a defeat to Ons Jabeur at the Jasmin Open last October but she is well capable of turning it on from the start here. Back Volynets to earn at least a set and leave the victor up to chance.
