Contents
For the third year in a row, we will see an Aryna Sabalenka vs Donna Vekic matchup. This duel promises to be very close so we have prepared an analysis to offer you the best tennis predictions for the Australian Open 2023.
Donna Vekic to Win a Set
It is a big doubt about who will be the winner of this duel, as both have some aspects in favor. The Croatian tennis player won the last two clashes against Sabalenka. On the other hand, the Belarusian tennis player recently won the WTA Adelaide tournament. During the first 4 rounds, both Aryna and Donna have shown good physical condition and a good pace of play. So regardless of the results, we expect Vekic to win at least one set.
Over 19.5 Total Games
4 of the 6 head-to-head matches between these two players ended in 3 sets, all of them exceeding 23.5 games. In fact, in the most recent h2h, there was a total of 30 games. Although Vekic is not the favourite, she has proven to be a tough opponent to beat, and she always makes Sabalenka show her best version. Our second Australian Open prediction is that this match will last more than 19.5 sets.
