THE PREDICTION
World number 44 Clara Tauson is set for a breakthrough season in 2022 despite already winning two WTA titles last season. The 19-year-old is Denmark’s answer to the likes of Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez and she should be one to back with that fateful 1000/1 punt for Grand Slams this season such is her talent. She conceded just one game in the round of 16 and she will set a new career-high world ranking no matter the outcome of this first meeting with Aliaksandra Sasnovich. The Belarussian beat the aforementioned Raducanu and then Simona Halep at Indian Wells last season in a display of what she is capable but the current world number 76 should find herself overpowered in this match-up despite a strong campaign so far in Melbourne. Tauson can win this in straight sets but the sensible pick is for the Dane to come through outright.
