Arthur Cazaux vs Jaime Faria prediction
The Australian Open will conjure positive memories for Arthur Cazaux, whose best run at a Grand Slam came in Melbourne two years ago when he reached the fourth round.
The Frenchman, currently 67th in the ATP rankings, entered the qualifiers for the Brisbane International recently, but after winning his first match, pulled out midway through his second contest with injury, which casts some doubt over his physical condition ahead of this opener.
Qualifier Jaime Faria's first foray into Grand Slam tennis came last year when he featured in all four majors, but the Australian Open was the only tournament he managed to win a match in.
The 22-year-old's best hope is that his opponent is not fully fit, but if Cazaux is injury-free then it is difficult to look past the Frenchman, who tends to perform well in this event.
