Mirra Andreeva of Russia will battle a resurging Maria Sakkari of Greece in the second round of the 2026 Australian Open on Wednesday.
Recommended Pick: Maria Sakkari +5.5 Games
Potential Payout: $225 for every $125 Bet.
Current Form:
Andreeva extended her winning streak to five matches after completing a come-from-behind victory over Donna Vekic of Croatia in the first round, 4-6, 6-3, 6-0. Andreeva was able to showcase her underrated ability to adjust mid-match as she turned up the heat in the second and third sets by holding all her remaining serves and capturing four break-point conversions. Andreeva, the reigning Adelaide International champion, has already converted 50 out of 71 break-points in 2026.
Sakkari seeks to sustain her good form after sweeping Leolia Jeanjean in the first round 6-4, 6-2. The former top-10 player held 8 out of 9 service games by winning 72 percent of her first balls while securing four break-point conversions. Maria Sakkari has 27 top-10 wins in her career, but she went just 1-8 against these players in 2025.

Our Maria Sakkari vs Mirra Andreeva Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Mirra Andreeva fends off challenge from Maria Sakkari 6-4, 7-6
Reason: Expect Andreeva to get past Sakkari, but not before overcoming an acid test from the Greek. The Russian teen sensation has already played 8 matches in a span of three weeks, which raises some concerns about her endurance. Sakkari displayed exceptional form in her win over Leolia Jeanjean and even in previous matches at the United Cup, where she picked up wins over Naomi Osaka and Emma Raducanu. Sakkari seems to be a solid option at +5.5 Games as I feel she could steal a few service breaks against Andreeva, who can be a slow starter at times.
