Barbora Krejcikova v Belinda Bencic Head to Head
Krejcikova and Bencic have been involved in two career head-to-head outings till date, with the latter holding a 2-0 lead over the former. In their last on-court meeting in the Bille Jean Cup Finals last year, the Swiss prevailed in straight sets.

Krejcikova Aims For Her First Career Win Over Bencic
In what turned out to be a season worth looking back on many times over, Krejcikova lifted her maiden Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros and rose to a career-high No.3 in the rankings before finishing the year at No.5.
Looking to build on from a stellar last season, the Czech tennis star will open her new season at Sydney International on Monday. However, she faces a tough opening-round rival in Belinda Bencic.
The Swiss had been her nemesis in both the head-to-head outings they have been involved in till date and will be looking forward to carry forward the momentum that she built in the latter half of last season.
However, what should work for the Czech this time is the belief and confidence that she drew from a memorable last season. Ending up on the champion’s podium at the famed Roland-Garros would have whetted her appetite for more titles and she would launch her Sydney campaign with an eye on the prize.
While she has the momentum to gun for her first career win over Bencic, she will be wary of the Swiss’s head-to-head record against her.

Bencic Looks to Build On Tokyo Olympics Showing
While faring poorly in the Grand Slams, Bencic’s quest for glory at the Olympics ended with her golden run at the Tokyo Games last year.
After become the first woman from her homeland to land the yellow metal in tennis at the Summer Games, Bencic led her country to the final of the Billie Jean Cup, formerly the Fed Cup, last year but she fell short of glory as Switzerland lost to Russia in the finals.
Nevertheless, her performance marked a stellar finish to her last season after a disappointing run, especially at the Grad Slams.
She would hope to get her new season off to winning start as she opens her campaign at the Sydney International against reigning French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova.
What would give her confidence and belief going into this opening-round clash is the 20-0 lead that she holds over the Czech star in career head-to-head battles. However, the psychological advantage apart, the Swiss has to bring her very best tennis to the park to take down the current World No.5.
Krejcikova v Bencic Prediction and Tip
One suspects that both players would be at evens stevens going into this opening-round clash as neither Krejcikova nor Bencic holds a clear edge over each other. While the Swiss leads 2-0 on the head-to-head count, the Czech, after a remarkable last year, would be itching to set the record straight this time round.
Tip: Bencic to win: 4/5 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
