The main favorite of the first Grand Slam of the Year is none other than our contender and WTA ranking leader Simona Halep. Her mission in the first round seems to be an easy one, in front of a young Australian, probably unknown to many, named Destanee Aiava. On the second day of the competition, the two players will face a place in the second round, where the opponent will be the winner of the match between Bouchard – Dodin. As expected, there is a rich offer for this match, which you find on the site of this bookmaker.
Simona Halep
After an exceptional year, with a tournament won at Shenzhen, both singles and doubles, all tennis enthusiasts are watching Simona, hoping that she will be able to take on her first Grand Slam career.
At the 9th, Halep wants at least to pass the quarterfinals, given that that phase of the competition is his best result at the Australian Open.
In the last two years, the Romanian has disappointed everyone, being surprisingly eliminated every time in the first round.
Destiny Aiava
Perhaps the most promising tennis player in Australia, Destanee Aiava, only 17, plays again in the first Grand Slam tour of his home country, after last year was eliminated by Mona Barthel.
The recipient of a wild-card, Destanee started the year in a disappointing manner, losing to the first round in Brisbane (6-1, 6-4 with Tomljanovic) and recording two defeats at the Kooyong “Exhibition” tournament in front Bouchard and Petkovic.
Direct meetings
As expected, Simona and Destanee have not been up front yet, so it will be very interesting to see what outcome the game will give us, as Halep is a big favorite at betting sites.
