Belinda Bencic will come into the second round after a routine 6-4,6-3 victory over Kristina Mladenovic. In 2021, the Swiss had a good first half of the season where she managed to reach 2 tour finals but was unfortunate to miss out on the title. She became the first Swiss woman to win an Olympics gold when she won the singles gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held this year and since then reached 5 consecutive quarter-finals to end the season.

The World No.23 again reached the quarter-finals of the WTA Sydney Tennis Classic 2022, where she lost to 5th seed Paula Badosa. Bencic would look to finally break the quarter-final curse in the Australian Open.

However, Amanda Anisimova has had a torrid few seasons. However, the American looks to have put past behind her as she comes into the second round after a hard-fought three-set victory over Arianne Hartono. With injuries and personal issues plaguing her last two seasons more, she appears ready to return to the upper levels of the women’s game. If she can keep it up, the 20-year-old will quickly reclaim her place as one of the bright young stars in the women’s game.

World No.22 Belinda Bencic will be the heavy favourite in this match as her form in recent times has been very good, while also being the higher-ranked player. She’ll come into the match after a confidence-boosting straight-sets victory in her previous round. Meanwhile, Anisimova too would have gained some confidence from her opening match as the American targets to again climb up in the tennis world.

Match Prediction-  Bencic to win in straight sets.
