Varvara Gracheva vs Catherine McNally Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Australian Open
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
World number 69 Varvara Gracheva takes on fellow unseeded player Caty McNally in the Australian Open first round. The winner of this match will face either 13th seed Anna Kalinskaya or qualifier Kimberly Birrell. Here's our match prediction.
Gracheva only played one warm-up tournament and lost in the first round of the Hobart International to Magda Linette. 2024 did end well for the French player with a run to the semi-final of the Hong Kong Open in October.
Her best run in this outdoor hard court Grand Slam was reaching round three in 2023. Just one WTA final has been reached by Gracheva. That was on this surface in Texas two years ago.
Caty McNally is down at 304th in the latest rankings but didn't have to play in the qualifiers. The American was allowed into round one via her protected ranking. In 2023, McNally was as high as 54th in the rankings. Last year saw her out injured from February to November.due to elbow surgery.
That came soon after she'd won a doubles title at the Transylvania Open. McNally didn't play any warm-up tournaments and has never made it past round two of this tournament. We tip Varvara Gracheva to win this match.
