ELINA AVANESYAN VS ANNA BLINKOVA PREDICTION
World number 55 Anna Blinkova overcame 28th seed Sorana Cirstea in three tight sets on Tuesday, upsetting a seed via a tiebreak for the second-successive Grand Slam. The 25-year-old stunned former finalist Elena Rybakina at the Australian Open back in January, via the longest tiebreak in that tournament’s history, but she has blown hot and cold ever since.
World number 70 Elina Avanesyan also upset a seed in Melbourne, beating Maria Sakkari in straight sets before a three-set exit to Marta Kostyuk, and she reached the round of 16 here last summer to display a similar penchant for prestigious tennis.
A comfortable straight-sets win over Lin Zhu on Tuesday suggests she is the favourite on this surface but three sets seem likelier than two. Back the younger Russian to win at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
