Australian Open Day One Predictions

Zarina Diyas vs Tamara Zidansek

Jim: Neither Zarina Diyas nor Tamara Zidansek has done much so far this season to inspire confidence in their chances at Melbourne Park. But the Kazakh has the better record at the Australian Open, having three times reached the third round, including last season, and beat Zidansek very comfortably in their only previous meeting.
