THE PREDICTION
World number five Jessica Pegula has reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in each of the last three seasons but she has yet to make a semi-final anywhere, with one extra last eight exit at each of the other three majors in that time. The 29-year-old added a second masters title to her now career-total of four WTA titles last season in Montreal but she has started 2024 in concerningly sluggish form by her standards, losing to Katie Boulter at the United Cup and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova this week in Adelaide. World number 182 Rebecca Marino qualified handily this week but she has been offered a horror opening draw against such a consistent performer as Pegula. 33-year-old Marino is a renowned battler, though, and well capable of forcing a decider if the fifth seed cannot recalibrate in time. Take Pegula to win outright for caution’s sake.
TIP: JESSICA PEGULA TO WIN
