The Australian Open might get all the attention, but dont be fooled. There is currently another WTA tournament taking place in Melbourne right now. In fact, 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin has already lost in the Round of 32 at the WTA Phillip Island Trophy. However, the other 15 Round of 32 matches will be contested on Monday, and were here to predict all of them for you. Who will advance? We share our thoughts. This set of predictions looks at four matches, and we also have three other sets, featuring Madison Brengle vs Bianca Andreescu, Varvara Lepchenko vs Danielle Collins, and Petra Martic vs Rebecca Marino.

Neither of these players will be happy with their Australian Open performance. Teichmann played poorly against Coco Gauff, while Zhang was absolutely embarrassed by Ann Li. On recent results, Id have to go with Teichmann. Zhang has more talent, though, so eventually that has to pull through. Probably.Prediction: Zhang in 3

Raina is 28 years old and still hasnt found her way into the top levels of the game. Shes a solid ITF player who has never cracked the top 170. Birrell, meanwhile was a rising young Aussie until she had to take off over a year with an elbow injury. Shes working her way back, and the home courts should help.Prediction: Birrell in 3

Greet Minnen has been getting her chances on tour recently, and she certainly looked strong in her opening match against Timea Babos here. Peterson is the better player, but shes been a bit inconsistent since a very strong run in 2019. Ill go with Peterson, but Minnen definitely has a chance to spring this upset.Prediction: Peterson in 3

This has the potential to be a good match, but Im not expecting too much. Sasnovich is extremely talented but somehow never seems fully able to play that way consistently. Konta might no longer be a Top 10 player, but shes still one of the best in the world. I expect the Brit to cruise.Prediction: Konta in 2
