THE PREDICTION
World number five Jessica Pegula will make a much-anticipated return to tour after her poor start to 2024 saw a split with long-term coach David Witt. The 30-year-old finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek at the WTA Finals late last season with wins over Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, Maria Sakkari and Coco Gauff to show for her potential but this could be a very choppy opener after a second round exit in Melbourne last month. World number 126 Jule Niemeier reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 2022 but she has struggled to find anything like the form that took her there since. The powerful 24-year-old came through qualifying before a consummate victory over an out-of-sorts Varvara Gracheva on Monday but this looks a reasonably kind opener for Pegula. However, the suitably cautious move is taking the American to win outright.
TIP: JESSICA PEGULA TO WIN
