THE PREDICTION
23-year-old Dayana Yastremska set a career-high WTA world ranking of 21st in January 2020 but she has fallen away spectacularly since them, due to a number of off-court reasons. The Ukrainian qualified as the top seed as world number 97 to make the main draw at the Australian Open before blowing off the cobwebs with her biggest win since the pandemic, conceding just three games to Wimbledon champion and seventh seed Marketa Vondrousova. This is now a huge opportunity for Yastremska to reach the third round in Melbourne for the first time and she will be desperate to do so for her nation against Varvara Gracheva, who switched allegiances from Russia to France last summer.
World number 39 Gracheva beat Yanina Wickmayer in straight sets on Monday to build on a reasonable start to her 2024 but this match could go anywhere between her steady resilience and Yastremska’s illusive, explosive best. Take Yastremska to win at least a set but leave this match miles away from any accumulators.
TIP: DAYANA YASTREMSKA TO WIN A SET
