In the 1st round, Ukrainian will play against the Tatiana Maria (Germany, WTA 73). The estimated start time of the game is 08:30 in Kiev.
Yulia Starodubtseva
Young Ukrainian by tennis standards no longer belongs to the prospective, she is 24 years old, at such a age from athletes already await specific results. The athlete has completed last year on the 101st line, but this season has already lost ten positions.
The beginning of the year Starodubtsev cannot bring to himself an asset. Initially, Jacqueline Christian lost in Auckland – 3: 6, 0: 2. This failure can be written off on an injury. Julia herself said that she turned her foot at the start of the first set, which was why she could not show her maximum.
On Aus Open, the Ukrainian got to the main grid immediately, although she had to play qualifications at first. It was lucky that Karolin Wozniacki starred from the tournament. In the first circle of Australian Major, Starodubtsev got on the strong Leila Fernandez, yielding 0: 3 in the first set, the Ukrainian leveled the score, but lost 5: 7. A similar scenario was in the second party – Julia failed, then tried to make a cabec, but gave way 4: 6. It is difficult to determine the shape of the athlete. According to two games, potentially Starodubtsev is able to break into the first hundred, in some places she shows tennis of a solid level.

A German tennis player can be considered an honorary veteran of world tennis, she is 37 years old, although she shows good tennis at her age. Last year, it reached the highest 42nd position in the world ranking.
This season, Tatiana Maria started with a tournament in Adelaide, where Van Sinwy’s Chinese gave way to the Chinese. Not far from Aus Open, where in the first circle in the stubborn struggle of the German passed the American Bernard Peru, and then without much chances, Clara Tauson – 2: 6, 2: 6.
Allowed to feel the ITF tournament in Indian Bengur. Maria was the first seeded, managed to justify her status. She reached the finals where Jeanjan beat the Frenchman in a difficult battle – 6: 7, 6: 3, 6: 4. It seems that the veteran age does not interfere with the athlete to show good results, although it will be difficult to play too often, it takes time to recover.

Never earlier the tournament grid had erected these tennis players. This is due to the fact that the Ukrainian is not so long ago in the round.
Forecast
There is no explicit favorite on paper, the success of Starodubseva is estimated at 1.7, and the German can be put with a factor of 2.2. I expect a complex and unpredictable match, Mary in a better form, but Starodubtsev is younger than 13 years, which can also play her role. I will put here on a clean victory of the Ukrainka.
