THE PREDICTION
Former world number 11 Alize Cornet famously upset Iga Swiatek in the third round here last season, snapping the world number one’s 37-match winning streak to blow the draw wide open. The 33-year-old has hinted that she may retire as a tennis professional this summer but a recent win over Maria Sakkari at the Nottingham Open, en-route to the semi-final, may have halted her decision for now. World number 74 Cornet has reached the round of 16 here on two occasions and she looks set to win her opening match for the third year in a row with a kind draw against lucky loser Nao Hibino. World number 127 Hibino has lost in the first round on each of her last three Grand Slam appearances on tour and she takes a three-match losing streak into this first meeting with Cornet, with her last win coming against Danka Kovinic – whom she is replacing here. Back Cornet to win outright, although straight sets should do it.
