Donna Vekic, ranked 19th in the world, is heavily favored to defeat Diane Parry, ranked 66th, in their first-round match at the Australian Open Women’s Singles 2025 on Saturday. The match is scheduled to begin at 10:30 PM ET at Melbourne Park.

According to Dimers‘ predictive tennis model, which ran 10,000 simulations of the match, Vekic has a 78% chance of winning. The model also gives Vekic a 72% probability of winning the first set. “We have used the latest data to run 10,000 simulations of Saturday’s Parry-Vekic match,” said Dimers data analyst Greg Butyn. “By incorporating recent updates and various other inputs, we estimate that Donna Vekic is more likely to win, while Diane Parry has a lower chance of victory.”
