THE PREDICTION
World number 25 Elina Svitolina had to dig deep to come back from a set down to Emma Raducanu on Thursday but she looked assured in the third. The former world number three was the WTA’s Comeback Player of the Year in 2023 after returning from maternity leave with a remarkable vengeance, reaching the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros and then semi-finals at Wimbledon with a new brand of aggressive tennis that fans cannot wait to see develop this season.
World number 36 Marie Bouzkova will pose a creditable threat to Svitolina’s run in Auckland, that also includes a first round triumph over former world number one Caroline Wozniacki, after blasting Amanda Anisimova out of the water on Wednesday in a surprising 6-0 6-1 victory. The 25-year-old should be able to move back inside the top 30 this season after an intermittent 2023 and she only just trails Svitolina 1-2 in a tight head-to-head record. Back Svitolina to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: ELINA SVITOLINA TO WIN A SET
