THE PREDICTION

Former world number 14 Marketa Vondrousova could do with a serious season in 2023 after being largely absent last year through various injuries. The 23-year-old is at her best on clay but she has impressed in stages on all surfaces and it would be fascinating to see where she can rise to with a prolonged bill of clean health. Vondrousova came back from a set down to beat eighth seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in a promising sign for things to come but World number 32 Kaia Kanepi should never be underestimated and the Estonian grabbed her own impressive comeback against Aliaksandra Sasnovich. 37-year-old Kanepi shows no sighs of stopping after one of her best seasons on tour in 2022 and she will be eager to resume her traditional role of giant-killer at the Australian Open in a few weeks’ time. However, a fit and firing Vondrousova can be backed to earn at least a set here in the most sensible way to avoid picking a winner.
