Prediction published on 27/01/2025, 16:00  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 27/01/2025 at 17:11 in Tennis Predictions

Unseeded Lucia Bronzetti faces the fifth seed Dayana Yastremska in round one of the indoor hard court Upper Austria Ladies Linz tournament. The winner of this match will be up against either unseeded Mayor Sheriff or qualifier Antonia Ruzic. Here's our match prediction.

Yastremska is the world number 72 and has made a steady start to the new year. After a first round defeat in Brisbane, the 24-year-old reached the last eight in Hobart, losing to eventual champion McCartney Kessler.

The Australian Open saw her get to round three where Yastremska lost to Elena Rybakina. It's a big improvement on her form in the second half of last year when winning just one of her final nine matches.

Lucia Bronzetti is 66th in the latest list, 20 places below the career-high the Italian set last May. Bronzetti also lost her first match of the year but it was against Madison Keys who's just won the Australian Open.

Two qualifying matches were won in Hobart but she lost to Renata Zarazua in the first round. The Australian Open saw her beat Victoria Azarenka in round one but then lose to Jaqueline Cristian in round two. We go for over 19.5 games in this match.
