Wildcard Gadecki Beats Qualifier
Wildcard Gadecki was making her debut in the main draw of her home Grand Slam after being given a wildcard. Two years ago she had been knocked out in the second round of qualifying, but she did not compete last year due to Covid restrictions – she is an anti-vaxxer.
Fate was kind to her in that she was drawn against qualifier Polina Kudermetova, who was also making her debut in the event, and who is ranked 182 in the world.
The first set was largely dominated by serve, although Gadecki did have to save three break points in the sixth game.
But with a tie-break looming, Gadecki forced three set points, and was able to convert the third.
That seemed to drain a lot of confidence out of Kudermetova, and Gadecki raced into a five love lead in the second set. She finally held serve, but Gadecki was able to close out the match next game.

Kostyuk Knocks Out American Seed
Kostyuk reached the third round in Melbourne year, and she began her latest campaign by knocking out the number 28 seed, Amanda Anisimova of the United States.
She began strongly, winning her opening service game to love, and then immediately breaking the American.
From there it was mainly a case of consolidating her position.
Anisimova had a break back point when Kostyuk was serving for the set, but could not take it, and the Ukrainian had the lead.
Anisimova dropped her serve again at the start of the second set, but, this time, hit back to level straight away.
In her next service game, Kostyuk had to save three break points, but then found herself a break up again.
Once more Anisimova got the break back, but was immediately broken to love, and the Ukrainian had the chance to serve for the match which she duly managed.
Gadecki v Kostyuk Prediction and Tip
Whilst Gadecki can count on loud and enthusiastic home support, Kostyuk is much higher ranked than her and, despite being the same age, has much greater experience in Grand Slams.
She should make the Melbourne third round for the second year in a row.
