22nd seed Katie Boulter faces unseeded Rebecca Marino in round one of the Australian Open. The winner of this outdoor hard court match will face either Veronika Kudermetova or Olivia Gadecki (both unseeded) in round two. Time for our first round match prediction.
Katie Boulter has never made it past the second round of this Grand Slam. Although up to 26th in the live rankings (three below her career-high), the British player has still never got past round three of any Grand Slam event.
The new tennis season has seen her representing Great Britain in the United Cup, winning two of her three singles matches. The other saw her lose to Iga Swiatek but the Brit did win a set off the world number two.
Rebecca Marino is at 98th in the live rankings and has lost in the first round of this Grand Slam in her last three visits. Not since the 2022 US Open has the 34-year-old Canadian won a match in a Grand Slam main draw. Her one tournament this year saw her defeated in the second round in Auckland.
There have been two previous meetings and Boulter has won both in straight sets, one on a hard court. We tip her to win this in straight sets.

Our Rebecca Marino vs Katie Boulter Prediction
Katie Boulter has risen up the rankings but needs a deep run in a Grand Slam. The British player had a good end to 2024 with a semi-final and final reached on hard courts. Two wins in the United Cup and taking a set off Iga Swiatek in defeat is promising too.
Rebecca Marino has been struggling in Grand Slams for the past couple of years. In two previous matches against Boulter (one on this surface), she's failed to win a set. Our Katie Boulter v Rebecca Marino prediction is Katie Boulter to win in straight sets.
