Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova begins her Adelaide Women’s campaign against Marketa Vondrousova. They will battle in the first round with the winner taking on Katerina Siniakova or Diana Shnaider next. Below is our prediction for this match. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova won the last time she was paired up against Vondrousova. This was in the third round in Doha. She won in straight sets to claim her first win against the Czech and would go on to make the Doha semis. As she is making her competitive return after a four-month hiatus, she will be hoping for the same outcome. The world number 28 was forced to end her 2024 campaign in September due to a back injury. She finished the year with a 27-19 record.

Marketa Vondrousova is also ending a lengthy time away from competitive play. The 25-year-old, who had a disappointing and disjointed 2024 season, last took to the court at Wimbledon. After a disappointing first-round exit to her title defence at SW19, Vondrousova ended her campaign to focus on a hand issue. A quarter-finalist in Adelaide in 2020, Vondrousova featured in 27 matches last year and won 16 times. She is currently ranked 39th in the WTA. The Czech number four has defeated Pavlyuchenkova twice in their three meetings.
