Occupying the third place in the WTA ranking, Garbine Muguruza seems to have an easy match against the Taipei player, currently 88 WTA. Iberica had an oscillating beginning of the year as a result of an injury, seeing herself forced to abandon in two rows at Brisbane and Sydney. After the first round here in Melbourne, his physical shape is a good one and the pain felt disappeared, and managed to put himself in two sets in the game with Ponchet at the end of a head-to-head match. His opponent, Hsieh, had a difficult first match in the inaugural round, ending in the extreme with the score of 8-6 in the decisive set. Su-Wei has great difficulty against tennis players who hit the ball, such as Muguruza, and will not have time in this game to adapt his game to the opponent’s style. Sporting Taipei certainly will have to use extra and run much more than in the first game, but I’m counting on the fact that the quarter-finalist from the previous edition will be imposed in minimum sets.
Tip: Garbine Muguruza 2-0 @ 1.44
