THE PREDICTION
World number 20 Ekaterina Alexandrova enjoyed her best season on tour last year with two WTA titles won at ‘s-Hertogenbosch and the Korea Open. The 28-year-old is yet to make it past the third round at a Grand Slam, with her last third round exit coming here back in 2021, and reaching the second week at a major should be one of her achievable targets in 2023. However, Alexandrova has managed just one win this season over Australia’s Jaimee Fourlis before withdrawing from an enticing round of 16 clash with Veronika Kudermetova on Wednesday and she remains an injury doubt ahead of this first meeting with Ysaline Bonaventure. The Belgian, also 28, is enjoying the form of her life right now to come to Melbourne at a career-high WTA world ranking of 92nd and she has started 2023 in great shape with a run to the semi-finals of the Auckland Classic last week including a victory over Leylah Fernandez. Alexandrova should have enough to come through here but hold off on this match until she is confirmed to play and then consider backing Bonaventure to earn at least a set outside of an accumulator.
