Elena Rybakina had a massively disappointing Australian Open 2022 campaign, falling at just the second round despite being the 12th seed. However, she did start the new year by making the final of the WTA Adelaide International, where she lost to Ashleigh Barty. Coming off a straight-set win against Varvara Gracheva in the previous round, the Russian-Kazakh would look to do well in the tournament as the third seed.

Tereza Martincova too exited the Australian Open 2022 in the second round, losing to higher-ranked Camila Giorgi. The Czech would come into the match after a hard-fought three-set victory over Vera Zvonareva in the previous round of the competition. She is currently ranked 42nd in the world according to the WTA rankings.

Elena Rybakina would be the favorite for the match. The 22-year-old would have a burning desire to do well in a winnable tournament after her Australian Open disappointment, looking to redeem herself. Meanwhile, Martincova would be an underdog but would be looking to push a higher-ranked Rybakina to her limits.

Match Prediction- Rybakina to win in straight sets.
