Aryna Sabalenka vs Olga Danilovic Head-To-Head

Sabalenka and Danilovic have never played before. This will be their first meeting.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Olga Danilovic Prediction

Sabalenka has been crushing the ball all season and tends to steamroll anyone not ranked in the top 10. It’s been one blowout after another in this tournament, but I do rate Danilovic very highly to make this a tight affair. On paper, Sabalenka should be winning this match and for good reason. She is the top seed and most consistent player this year.

Danilovic will have the competitive edge that none of Sabalenka’s opponents showed this week. She’s already built for the big time and stunned a top-five player at the Australian Open in January and just gutted out a good win over big-hitting Collins. If Danilovic finds that lefty slice serve, she can make points very uncomfortable for Sabalenka early on. So, do not be surprised if the Serbian steals a set.
