Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro Head-To-Head
• Defending champion Sabalenka and Spain's Bouzas Maneiro have never crossed paths before. This will be their first meeting.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro Prediction
Sabalenka admitted that Australia feels like home at this point. Her dominance in this tournament has never been seen in the women's draw in a long time. The chance to do a three-peat is looking very realistic with each win. The numbers are very frightening if you are a Bouzas Maneiro fan.
Sabalenka has not lost a set at this event since the 2023 final and has not lost a match in three years. Additionally, Sabalenka has won 28 of her last 29 matches on hard courts in Grand Slam tournaments. Anything but another thrashing would be a major shock. Give me the World No. 1 in two sets and to cover the -7.5 games handicap.
Nur’s Pick Aryna Sabalenka games handicap -7.5
