Zeynep Sonmez vs Anna Bondar prediction
Zeynep Sonmez advanced to the second-round of the Australian Open after a brilliant win over world number 11 Ekaterina Alexandrova. Sonmez did not drop a set during the qualifying rounds and brought her strong form into this match, winning 7-5 4-6 6-4 after two hours and 37 minutes.
She takes on Anna Bondar in the next round. Bondar eased past world number 182 Elizabeth Mandlik in straight sets to advance to the next stage of the tournament. She won the first six service games of the match, and despite going an early break down in the second, she recovered to win 6-0 6-4 after just one hour and nine minutes.
Sonmez’s victory over Alexandrova gives her belief and momentum heading into this one, particularly in pressure points and long baseline rallies. If she serves well, she has a strong chance to defeat Bondar and make it through to the third-round of a major for just the second time in her career.
