Hamad Medjedovic vs Alex de Minaur prediction
There’s no doubt about it, Alex de Minaur is locked in when it comes to this Australian Open. The opportunity to win a home Grand Slam is always a special one and the Aussie looked every inch a contender in his first round performance, albeit against an opponent unlikely to cause him many issues in USA’s Mackenzie McDonald.
Hamad Medjedovic has little to lose in this scenario and it will be fascinating to see how the 22-year-old copes with the crowd against him. He has the ability to pull out some outstanding points, but his youthful exuberance can also lead to errors and discipline is crucial against top tier opposition such as De Minaur.
The Australian number one is such a strong proposition though and has all the tools in his arsenal to get on top of his opponent early on and really dominate the majority of points. This is likely to wind up a step too far for Medjedovic and the sensible move would be to back a De Minaur straight sets victory.
