Mirra Andreeva is through to the last 16 of the Australian Open for the second year in a row. Andreeva defeated Poland’s Magdalena Frech in three sets.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Mirra Andreeva Prediction

Sabalenka overcame the sternest of examinations before the second week, beating an in-form Clara Tauson in straight sets. Sabalenka will need to perform at her absolute best level here, because she’s up against the tour’s best-performing teenager in the last 12 months in Andreeva.

So, any lapses or erratic side of Sabalenka that shows up will be punished. Andreeva’s court awareness and tactical acumen defy her young age and she plays with maturity. I’m still going Sabalenka as she has so much firepower to blow away the 17-year-old. But if plan A doesn’t work, then she might be in serious trouble.
