Julia Starodubtseva

The Ukrainian athlete has already played six matches in the current season, in which she won five. Starodubtseva started with the tournament in Oakland, where she successfully qualified, defeating Frenchwoman Ponchet and Austrian Tugger. In the first round of the main round there was a loss to Katie Boulter.

The tennis player also started the Australian Open Championship with the qualification, where she beat the Frenchwoman Tubello – 6:2, 3:6, 6:0. Then there was a victory over the Greek Papamikhail – 6:1, 6:2. In the final of the qualification, Starodubtseva coped with the Bulgarian Tomova – 7:6, 6:2. The Ukrainian got in good shape before the first Grand Slam tournament of this season.

Ayla Tomlyanovych

The Australian athlete is a typical middle-aged player of world tennis, she has been in the top 100 for a long time, although there were breaks. Tomlyanovych is 32 years old, she can already be included among the veterans. Although the Australian Open is a home major for the tennis player, here she plays the worst, as she has never gone beyond the second round.

Tomlyanovych started this season with a tournament in Brisbane, where she defeated the Frenchwoman Jaquemo – 6:1, 6:3, and then, in a fierce fight, she lost to the strong Karolina Mukhova – 6:4, 1:6, 6:7. There was also a tournament in Adelaide, where she managed to beat Clara Towson – 7:6 and her opponent refused. In the second round, Isla was leading 2:0 in the first set and at 40:40 on her serve, she withdrew from the match due to a knee injury. It’s not clear if she’s 100% physically ready right now.

Personal meetings

The tennis players have met only once, it was in September of last year, then in Beijing Tomlyanovych managed to win in two sets – 7:6, 6:2.

Forecast

There is no clear favorite in this pair, maybe it will be easier for the Australian, she will be supported by the public, her body is more used to this time zone. For tennis players of this level, every major victory is extremely valuable.

I expect a difficult and unpredictable match that can end with any result, I will bet on the total more than 20.5 games at 1.66.
