I have an unhealthy appetite for following tennis around the world. From Grand Slams to ATP & WTA level events right down to the ITF circuit. No tournament is too small. Enjoy my predictions

Australian Open 1st round - S Zhang v A Wozniak
S Zhang @ 2.75 to beat A Wozniak - What a price for the Chinese number 4. Zhang plays really well on hardcourts and is capable of causing a few upsets. She has had a bad run of form since August 2011 where she could harldy win a match, but put a few ITF wins together in November and reached QF of an Chinese ITF in January. She has hardcourt wins in 2011 over the likes of Dokic & Voskoboeva and only lost in 3 sets in Melbourne last year to Safarova, nothing to be ashamed of. Wozniak has never regained the form that took her into the worlds top 30 a few years ago, her highest was 21. The Canadian has some huge career wins but has struggled with finishing off matches. The match is very even and thats why i will take a punt with a Zhang win in the 1st round. She is capable of the upset.
