THE LOWDOWN
SARA SORRIBES TORMO
World number 35 Sara Sorribes Tormo just sneaks in as the 32nd seed in Melbourne after her breakthrough season on tour last year. The 25-year-old won a first WTA tour title at the Guadalajara Open and runs to the quarter-finals of the Miami Masters and the Canadian Open were mightily impressive. The Spaniard set her best Grand Slam showing with a limp third round exit to Emma Raducanu at the US Open late last year.
KIRSTEN FLIPKENS
Former world number 13 Kirsten Flipkens won her solitary WTA tour title at the Quebec Open in 2012. The 36-year-old reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2013 before losing to eventual champion Marion Bartoli.
THE PREDICTION
This is an odd match thrown up by the draw between Kirsten Flipkens and Sara Sorribes Tormo, who are playing together in the Women’s Doubles event this week. 25-year-old Sorribes Tormo is the heavy favourite to come through against the veteran Belgian after she won their first meeting in three sets back in 2019. This time around the improved Spaniard should be able to take this in two.
