THE PREDICTION

World number 20 Simona Halep looks ready for a return to the WTA’s top 10 after her impressive three-set win over sixth seed Viktorija Golubic in Melbourne. The second seed will face China’s latest promising youngster in Qinwen Zheng after the 19-year-old beat Ana Konjuh in two tiebreaks on Friday. The current world number 126 should break the top 100 this month if she continues in this vein and her momentum from the qualifiers through to the last four will be seriously tough for Halep to break down. The former world number one should still come through here but Qinwen Zheng has earned the respect of an outright call for Halep.
