Garbine Muguruza vs Margarita Gasparyan : Preview
Muguruza has shown some good form in the Yarra Valley Classic, and reached the final there. The change in form can be attributed to changes to her coaching team, where she has Conchita Martinez replace Sam Sumyk. Martinez and Muguruza have shared a good rapport in the past, and have famously won the Wimbledon together back in 2017. Margarita Gasparyan has not been in the best of forms this year, barely making it past the first round in most tournaments that she participated in. She only qualified into the Australian Open main draw as a lucky loser.
