Elena Rybakina had a good 2021, and would look to kick on and improve in the new season. After making her top 15 debut, the Russian-Kazakhistani would look to now break into the top 10 in the 2022 season.

Storm Sanders meanwhile would look to continue improving in the new season after her promising singles campaign. The Aussie would look to begin well in the new season and cause some upsets in the tournament. Despite the improvements by the Aussie, I’d predict Rybakina to win the match easily.

Prediction: Rybakina to win in two sets.
