Match Predict – Handicap (-4) for Pliskova
Gracheva was pleasantly pleased with her win in Melbourne. However, she has a game against the powerful Pliskova, where she needs to hold her serve steadily, as breaking will not be easy. Karolina is getting better, her serve is very good now. We don’t think Varvara can cope with the Czech’s pressure.
Total Games Under 23
All the matches in Melbourne have not been tightly contested. We expect Pliskova to win in two sets thanks to her strong serve.
Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Varvara Gracheva vs Karolina Pliskova
Varvara Gracheva:
Varvara Gracheva is having the best tournament of her career in Melbourne. The Russian had not reached the third round of the Australian Open before 2023.
Gracheva reached the third round for the first time at the Australian Open.
In the first round, Varvara sensationally defeated Daria Kasatkina (6-1, 6-1). This was her first victory over a rival from the top 10.
It is noteworthy that in early January, Gracheva lost with the same score as Anna Blinkova in the tournament qualification in Hobart.
In the second round, Gracheva overcame Lucrezia Stefanini of Italy (6-3, 6-1). The critical point was a feeble serve game of her opponent.
Gracheva has only won one set in her last six lost meetings against the holders of the powerful serve.
#8 Daria Kasatkina is the first top 10 player to lose in the Women's Draw, 6-1, 6-1 to Varvara Gracheva in 54 minutes.
