Command Analysis
Magdalena Frech
PolandCurrent form
Frech did not show anything at the pre-Slam tournaments in Brisbane and Adelaide, where she lost to Lamens and Ostapenko in the opening matches. There were concerns in the betting tips that Magdalena would be able to overcome at least one round in Melbourne. However, she pleasantly surprised and passed through the grid of two difficult opponents Polina Kudermetova (6-4, 6-4) and Anna Blinkova (0-6, 6-0, 6-2). Another representative of Russia is next in line; so far at the Australian Open, the Polish tennis player is a threat to the Russians.
Professional qualities
There are no special bright qualities in Frekh game, in many ways we are dealing with a solid middle-of-the-pack player from the top 100. Magdalena tries to act as the first number, using a good forehand, but from time to time you can see complete failures in her game, as was the case in the first set with Blinkova.
Current indicators in the tour
Frech showed her worth in Melbourne last year, when she managed to get to the 1/8 finals. Now she has just one step left to defend her ranking points. Magdalena currently occupies a high 26th place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
- Three of Frech four matches since the start of the season have seen more than nine games played in the first set.
- In two of the three matches, Magdalena played three sets
Mirra Andreeva
Russian FederationCurrent form
Andreeva brought herself to the start of the Australian Open in good shape, having made it to the semi-finals in Brisbane. In Melbourne, Mirra played two controversial matches, completely opposite in scenario. First, she confidently dealt with Bouzkova (6-3, 6-3), and then with great difficulty snatched a victory from the not very formidable Uchijima (6-4, 3-6, 7-6).
Professional qualities
Mirra has an undeniable talent, from the outside it seems that everything comes very easily to her on the court, although, of course, there are hours of training behind this. Andreeva is distinguished by her mobility on the back line, excellent footwork, she manages to get the ball and hit it from comfortable positions. Of course, due to her age, she does not always have enough stability.
Current indicators in the tour
Andreeva has already managed to win five out of six matches on the tour since the beginning of the year. In the world rankings, she is ranked 15th, which is her best result in her career. In Melbourne, let us recall, Mirra needs to defend the points for last year entry into the 1/8 finals, and to do this, she only needs to defeat Frech.
Interesting facts for betting
- Only one of Andreeva six matches this year went to three sets.
- Two of Andreeva last four matches have gone to tiebreaks

Andreeva had a hard time with Uchijima in the previous match, lost her advantage during the match, and only broke the Japanese player resistance in the decisive tie-break.

Frech has warmed up on local courts, has already beaten two Russians, and plays quite simply and straightforwardly, but that enough to win.
