Olga Danilovic/Anastasia Potapova are favored to win with odds of 1.65 due to their higher WTA singles rankings and stronger recent doubles form, including Danilovic's straight-set win over V. Jiménez Kasintseva in March 2025, compared to Shymanovich/Sierra's mixed results on clay. Shymanovich has shown promise in WTA 125 doubles like the Guadalajara win in September 2025, but the favorites hold better hard court records ahead of Australian Open with DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

Olga Danilovic/Anastasia Potapova are predicted to win with moneyline odds of 1.65 on DexWin, leveraging Potapova's consistent Grand Slam experience and Danilovic's powerful baseline game on hard courts. Shymanovich/Sierra at 2.25 odds face an uphill battle given Sierra's recent WTA 125 clay win in April 2025 but limited top-tier doubles success.

No direct head-to-head meetings exist between Iryna Shymanovich/Solana Sierra and Olga Danilovic/Anastasia Potapova.
