THE LOWDOWN
HAILEY BAPTISE
20-year-old Hailey Baptise qualified well to make her Australian Open debut on Tuesday and she grabbed the opportunity with both hands in an impressive comeback victory against Caroline Garcia. The American reached the second round of Roland-Garros on her debut there last season and she will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of at least 137th no matter the outcome here.
MADDISON INGLIS
24-year-old Aussie wildcard Maddison Inglis shocked US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez in the first round of the Australian Open, taking out the 23rd seed in straight sets. The world number 133 had previously lost her four other Grand Slam matches, her last coming here last year.
THE PREDICTION
This is a huge opportunity for one of Hailey Baptiste or Maddison Inglis to reach the third round of a major for the first time in what is the biggest match of both players’ careers. While Inglis stole the headlines with her stunning of US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez, the Canadian was clearly off the pace on Tuesday and nowhere near her confident best. Baptiste’s fightback from a set and a break down to Caroline Garcia is the result that suggests more of what may transpire here and it would not be a surprise to see the American come back from a set down once again here. Any which way is something of a guess in this first meeting but take Baptiste to win at least a set or indeed for the match to see three altogether.
