Maria Sakkari v Shelby Rogers Head to Head
Rogers has the upper hand, at least psychologically, against Sakkari in this fixture. She leads 1-0 in the head to head tally, last defeating her in the 2021 Wimbledon with 7-5, 6-4.

Sakkari Stammers in the Opener
Maria Sakkari needed a little over two hours in the opening-round bout against Tamara Zidansek. While the 26-year-old Greek did prevail ultimately with 6-2, 0-6, 6-4, it wasn’t the most clinical win.
In the post-match conference, the top 10 player also admitted that she didn’t feel great during the match. She won just 65% of her first service points while losing the second set without bagging any games.
But a win is a win and Sakkari now needs to concentrate on what lies ahead. The current World No. 6 has a rich pedigree, having reached the semis last season in the Miami Open, French Open, US Open, and the WTA Finals. She was also the runner-up at the Ostrava Open.
With a litany of big wins under her belt, third-seeded Sakkari is primed for a good run in Adelaide.

Rogers Storms Past Inglis
By contrast, World No. 40 Shelby Rogers had a comfortable start to her season. She moved past Maddison Inglis with 6-1, 6-3, without breaking a sweat. In fact, she clinched 72% of first-service points while winning five out of seven breakpoints.
Looking at her form in the previous season, the American had a rather mediocre stint on the tour. Her win-loss tally for the year stood at 29-23 with no singles titles to show for.
However, Rogers did reach the fourth round at the Australian Open and US Open and the quarterfinals in Adelaide and Indian Wells. She also defeated the likes of Bianca Andreescu and Ash Barty over the course of the year.
Sakkari v Rogers Prediction and Tip
Sakkari will start as the odds-on favourite but given the hiccup in her opener, Rogers has a good chance of carving the upset. This can swing either way in all fairness.
Tip: Three sets in the match: 7/4 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
