Marketa Vondrosouva is a surprise pick for the Australian Open title but she has proven at last year's French Open that she can come from nowhere and reach the semifinal of a grand slam.
Interestingly, Vondrosouva has a winning H2H with the players that she may run into - Camila Giorgi of Italy, Angelique Kerber of Germany, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia and Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands.
That's the reason, she's the pick for her side of the draw! Elina Svitolina is also on this side of the draw, but she has a nemesis here who has a better H2H than hers - Kiki Bertens.
Anyway, this is just victory on paper, we still have to see if it pans out in reality.
Marketa's prospective semi-final opponent is Simona Halep. It could be a Simona Halep - Naomi Osaka final. That we will have to see.
