Aussie teenager Maya joint has a tough task ahead of her.
She’s playing world no. 2 Iga Swiatek, who is a six-time grand slam singles champion…so yeah, this won’t be easy.
Joint and Swiatek have only played once before, but Swiatek won that match in Korea pretty handily (6-0, 6-2).

As for Alex de Minaur and Hubert Hurkacz, they’ve played three times before, and de Minaur leads the head-to-head 2-1, but it’s hard to gauge how this match will go tonight.
De Minaur won handily when they played at Indian Wells last year, but Hurkacz wasn’t at his best and later required knee surgery which sidelined him for seven months.
This is Hurkacz’s first tournament back and he’s been impressive, defeating Alexander Zverev and Tallon Griekspoor.
