THE PREDICTION
World number 145 Katie Swan has a great chance at taking Great Britain into a healthy 2-0 lead after Cam Norrie beat Alex de Minaur in the first rubber. The 23-year-old set a career-high WTA world ranking of 118th back in October with some excellent form on the ITF circuit and she should be in the better shape against world number 772 Zoe Hives, who has lost each of her last five matches since qualifying for Wimbledon last summer. Home advantage does heavily favour Hives here in Sydney but Swan beat the likes of Sloane Stephens in her best season on tour in 2022 to suggest she has enough to edge through this first encounter with the Aussie.
