Today, I will wake up with unpopular choices, but in my opinion, one of the Australian Joint or Preston should take as an underdog, especially hoping for Preston. Judging this match, no matter how good Valentova is in their special form, even though they stand lower in the rankings, but in any case, they are 18m Czech and young Ghanaian, who will play against the local Joint with great support, so it is unclear how they will handle the pressure from the audience. Looking at more serious tournaments, practically since last year's US open, the Czech has started competing constantly, showing strong performances at Osaka WTA, but fell in the second round of the US Open, and completely missed Wimbledon, so they have not yet proven themselves strongly in bigger arenas, but has a poor record in the ITF. Joint - a 19m local Australian, also currently at the highest career points position of WTA 31, is not showing much this year, but playing at home, it is possible to expect a better game from them. In any case, I think the odds for Joint are too high.
