Iga Swiatek of Poland will battle Yuan Yue of China in the first round of the 2026 Australian Open on Monday.
Recommended Pick: Iga Swiatek -8.5 Games (+170)
Potential Payout: $270 on a $100 Bet
Current Form:
Swiatek is gunning for a career Grand Slam in this year’s Australian Open, having already won the French, the US, and the Wimbledon Open. The Pole is coming off a subpar campaign at the United Cup, where she finished with a 3-2 record in women’s singles play. After taking down Eva Lys, Suzan Lamens, and Maya Joint soundly in her first three matches, Swiatek suffered a heavy loss to Coco Gauff 4-6, 2-6 in the semifinals and the resurging Belinda Bencic 6-3, 0-6, 3-6.
After reaching the quarterfinals in Canberra, Yuan Yue racked up three straight victories to qualify for the main draw of the 2026 Australian Open. Yue gutted out three-set victories over Louisa Chirico of the United States and Maria Carle before sweeping Tamara Zidansek 6-3, 6-1 in the final qualification match.

Our Yue Yuan vs Iga Swiatek Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Iga Swiatek blasts Yuan Yue 6-2, 6-0
Reason: Swiatek understands that she needs to make a statement win as early as the first round to intimidate her future opponents in this tournament. The Pole might have struggled in the home stretch mark of the United Cup, but I expect her to rebound, starting with a ruthless win over Yue, who has a career 1-12 record against top-10 players.
