THE PREDICTION
23rd seed Shuai Zhang came into Melbourne at a career-high WTA world ranking of 22nd after an impressive renaissance season last year, culminating in a great run to the round of 16 at the US Open. The 33-year-old beat Petra Martic in straight sets in an altogether more assured performance than her first round win over Patricia Tig and she looks capable of avoiding the upset here against qualifier Katie Volynets, who provided one of the shocks of the tournament on Thursday. 21-year-old Volynets will break the top 100 on tour for the first time after stunning ninth seed Veronika Kudermetova in three sets to become the first American qualifier to make the third round in 30 years. With Volynets’ surprise factor gone, back a usually unflappable Shuai Zhang to win outright.
