Laslo Djere vs Stan Wawrinka prediction
Stan Wawrinka will be desperate not to end his career at the Australian Open on a poor note by losing in the first round. He’s prepared well for this tournament knowing the stakes that come with this being his final Grand Slam here in Melbourne. Whilst there are question marks over his endurance levels, the 40-year-old is a big-game-competitor.
Laslo Djere will likely have the crowd against him and will need to keep his composure, particularly if this match goes deep. His last notable action came in Hong Kong where he was eliminated in the round of 32, losing in straight sets to Marcos Giron of USA.
Across the last eight years, Djere has reached the second round just once at the Australian Open and this something that can’t be ignored against a player of Wawrinka’s experience. Factor in the emotional aspect of Wawrinka’s final Australian Open and it’s worth backing him to move on.
