THE PREDICTION
World number 57 Lauren Davis takes a five-match winning streak into the first round at the Australian Open after coming from out of the blue to claim the Hobart International title last week. Wins over in-form Ysaline Bonaventure, Anna Blinkova, Elisabetta Cocciaretto and an opening victory over Sloane Stephens suggests she is the favourite here but world number 55 Danka Kovinic is the last player to have beaten the American after a three-set result in Auckland two weeks ago. Additionally, Kovinic enjoyed one of the best campaigns of her career here, at least in recent years, when she made the third round of the Australian Open last season at Emma Raducanu’s expense and it took eventual champion Naomi Gauff to beat her in the semi-finals in Auckland. The Montenegrin leads Davis 2-1 in their head-to-head record but Davis has won at least a set in all three of their meetings. Back the American to earn at least one here as the player with the streak and leave the victor up to chance.
