Belinda Bencic is favourite to win this match and also the Australian Open 2023. However, she must overcome her next Australian Open draw against an opponent she has never faced, Claire Liu must do her best with the odds against her.

Claire Liu vs Belinda Bencic – Match Prediction
Contents
According to many rumours, this match should be easy for the Swiss tennis player. We do our analysis to offer the right betting tips and other tennis predictions at the Australian Open 2023.
Under 19.5 Total Games
One of our Australian Open predictions is that this match will end quickly and there will be less than 19.5 games in total. We base our prediction on the fact that in the first round, Belinda Bencic needed only 15 sets to advance to the next round. The Swiss player will face Liu, who lost many times in the previous season and won very few matches against higher-ranked players than her.
Set 1 Total Games – 6 or 8
If we look at the sets Lui lost in the previous season, we see that she lost in 8 sets, 6-2 was the most repeated result in defeats. After Bencic’s 6-1 and 6-2 win last time out, we know that the chances of there being between 6 and 8 games in the first set are very likely. Even in the Adelaide WTA final, Bencic won the first set 6-0.
Claire Liu vs Belinda Bencic Preview
Both players won their previous features in straight sets, but one of the two will not be able to continue their good run. We already checked the odds and predictions, so let’s take a look at the preview Australian Open results of each player.
Claire Liu
The North American tennis player had a great performance against Madison Brengle. Liu was the favourite in this match, as she had a good experience in the Adelaide WTA, unlike Brengle who has a long losing streak in singles matches. There is no doubt that having won in straight sets was great Australian Open results.
Belinda Bencic
To get past Viktoriya Tomova in the first round, Bencic needed just 1 hour and 6 minutes. In this period she converted 3 break points to win the first set and then converted 2 more to win the second. The Swiss tennis player was very confident in her game and that’s why she got good Australian Open results.
Liu vs Bencic Head to Head
This will be the first duel between the two players who are at a different levels. Although the odds are in favour of Bencic, it will not be the first time that the Swiss tennis player loses to a new opponent.
