THE PREDICTION
20-year-old Amanda Anisimova has been improving steadily with every round here in Melbourne and conceding just two games to the third seed Daria Kasatkina on Saturday is a huge statement of intent. The former world number 21 will be targeting a return to the top 30 this season after a few wilderness years and she looks a decent favourite to win her first WTA title since her breakthrough year in 2019. World number 107 Aliaksandra Sasnovich is a former world number 30 playing some of her best tennis again, with her stunning wins over Emma Raducanu and Simona Halep at Indian Wells last season form she has taken straight through to 2022. The Belarussian ousted an injured Clara Tauson in the quarter-finals and then took out in-form seventh seed Ann Li in three sets on Saturday and she should not be underestimated in this first meeting with Anisimova. For that reason, taking the American to win at least a set as the more likely of two capable champions is the sensible call here.
