Magdalena Frech vs Mirra Andreeva. Australian Open match prediction and bets

Current 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.

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.
