Grand Slam #1
The Australian Open is a tennis tournament held annually at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The tournament is the first of the four Grand Slam tennis events held each year, preceding the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Qinwen Zheng
Picks:
Sabalenka -5.5 @1/1
Over 19.5 total games @5/6
Sabalenka’s proved to be the best player of the Australian Open so far, not dropping a set en route to the final. However, some nerves in her semifinal win over Gauff may be a preview for what is to come in the final. The World No. 2 led 5-2 in the first set, before finding herself two points from losing the set.
Yet, Zheng hasn’t played a Top 50 opponent this entire tournament. Her semifinal win over Yastremska was a big milestone for the Chinese No. 1, but Sabalenka is a massive step up. Zheng only claimed four of 11 break points in the semifinal, a number that has to improve against one of the fastest servers in the game. Sabalenka may be nervous early on and the first set should be tight, but look for Sabalenka to win her second Grand Slam on Saturday.
