Tennis Predictions
Back in the round of 16 at the Australian Open 3 years after her only appearance, the Spaniard Paula Badosa will face the Serbian Olga Danilovic, a novice at this level in Melbourne.
Freed from her physical problems, Paula Badosa has been living again since mid-2024. Long handicapped by her body, the Spaniard had been held back in her career but is on the right track to regain all her means. Having returned to 12th place in the world, the Iberian tennis player saw adversity increase over the rounds with first of all easy successes over the Chinese Xinyu Wang and the Australian Talia Gibson. But in the 3rd round, Paula Badosa successfully passed her first test in this Australian Open by dominating the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk, 18th player in the world, in 3 sets. If the Spaniard thought she would find Jessica Pegula in the round of 16, it is ultimately Olga Danilovic who emerges during this meeting.
-The Serbian had never done better than a second round in Melbourne in her career, but in this year 2025, the 55th player in the WTA is offering her best tennis! Victorious over the Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus, Olga Danilovic then produced two good performances to dominate the Russian Liudmila Samsanova (21st) and especially the American Jessica Pegula, finalist of the last US Open. Present in the second week for the second time in her career after Roland Garros in 2024, Olga Danilovic is now starting to dream of the quarter-final in Australia!
