Azarenka Aims for Deep Run
Victoria Azarenka will be making her second appearance in the tournament.
Last year, the Belarusian had beaten Paula Badosa and Priscilla Hon in the first two rounds, but she lost a three-set affair to Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinal.
The 33-year-old will be looking for a better showing in this year’s edition.
Ranked no. 26th, Azarenka was consistent last year, which reflected in her 24-13 season record. But she would be disappointed not to have made a single final.
The last time the 21-time tour champion reached a final was in Indian Wells in 2021. Last year, her best performance came in Guadalajara-2, her last tournament of the season. It was the only tournament that year when she reached the semifinal.
She also reached two quarterfinals in Adelaide and Washington, in addition to reaching quite a few round of 16s.
It will be interesting to see if the former no. 1 can make a solid start in Australia, a country where she has won two Grand Slam titles.

Kalinina Into the Main Draw
World no. 39 Anhelina Kalinina breezed past her qualifying round opponents to make it to the main draw of the Adelaide International.
On Saturday, Kalinina knocked out compatriot Dayana Yastremska 6-4, 6-4, while on Sunday, she was even more dominant as she demolished Anna Bondar 6-1, 6-1 in just 66 minutes.
Kalinina converted 6 of 14 break points against Yastremska, while she converted 6 of 16 against Bondar. She was broken four times by Yastremska and just once by Bondar.
Kalinina has been in good form recently and including the two qualifying round wins she has now won seven matches in a row. The 25-year-old won her first WTA 125 title by beating Clara Tauson in Open de Limoges, France in December.
The Ukrainian, who finished with a 34-22 record from all levels last year, also reached the semifinals of the previous two WTA 125 tournaments in November and December. So she is 13-2 from her last 15 matches.
On the tour, Kalinina reached the quarterfinals in Charleston, Madrid, Eastbourne and Cluj Napoca-2.
With form in her favour, Kalinina will look to win her opener against Azarenka.
Azarenka v Kalinina Prediction and Tip
Despite Kalinina’s form at the lower level, Azarenka will be the favourite. The former no. 1 is a top-class player. She is vastly experienced, the superior player in this contest. Expect Kalinina to put up a fight, but Azarenka to edge through.
