Mariano Navone vs Hamad Medjedovic prediction
Mariano Navone is still searching for his first win this season after two early defeats. He competed in Hong Kong but lost in round one to home favourite Coleman Wong. He then faced Alex Michelsen in the first-round of the Auckland Open and made a strong start, taking the first set, but would go on to lose in three. Navone primarily excels on clay courts, and has just one hard court victory at a Grand Slam.
He faces Hamad Medjedovic in the first-round of the Australian Open. The Serb showed some form in Auckland as he won both of his qualifying matches and then defeated Aleksandar Kovacevic in the first-round. He pushed Jakub Mensik all the way in the next stage of the tournament, losing in three sets, with Mensik going on to win the event.
Medjedovic possesses the more powerful and aggressive game, which should give him an advantage against Navone in these quick conditions.
