Barbora Krejcikova vs Andrea Petkovic: Preview
Barbara Krejcikova had a remarkable resurgence last season, wherein she won her maiden singles Grand Slam title at Roland Garros and also won two Grand Slams, one each in women’s doubles and mixed doubles. However, she had a disappointing end to her season as she failed to make the knockouts after failing to register a single win in the round-robin stage and as a result, finishing last in her group. Nevertheless, she didn’t let this deter her and has notched a hattrick of wins to kick off her campaign this year and has reached the finals of the ongoing WTA Sydney Tennis Classic 2022.
Andrea Petkovic will be playing in her 12th Australian Open this year. The Spanish veteran had an above-average season as she won her seventh career title at the Winners Open in Romania, her first title in six years. She has never made it past the second round at Melbourne Park and is yet to win a match since 2018

Barbora Krejcikova vs Andrea Petkovic: Prediction
Krejcikova has made a good start to her season and is on course to win her second WTA title as she takes on Spain’s Paula Badosa in the summit clash of the ongoing WTA Sydney Tennis Classic 2022.
Petkovic has won two matches this year, her only defeat being to former World No.1 Naomi Osaka
It will be a battle of contrasting playing styles as Krejcikova being a singles and doubles specialist is know for her excellent net game and defensive while also having a powerful serve, while Petkovic is known for her powerful backhand but has weak second serve and net game.
Krejcikova is the favorite going into this match as she has been in a rich vein of form as of late and will be looking forward to carry this momentum into her opening round clash.
Prediction: Krejcikova to win in straight sets
