THE PREDICTION
This looks like an entertaining match between the experienced Aussie John Millman and France’s rising star Corentin Moutet, who just missed out on the Murray River Open final in a hammering by Felix Auger-Aliassime. 31-year-old Millman enjoyed a week with Team Australia at the ATP Cup and should again be able to count on the vast majority of the arena throughout his time here at the Australian Open. He and other Aussie players will benefit from an almost 100% Australian crowd in the reduced capacity stands this year and that should see him battle past a tricky opponent in Moutet. The world number 80 is a really difficult player to unpick with an awkward, unorthodox left-handed play-style but Millman is a patient player whose biggest strength is his mentality and he should be able to navigate this match-up over five sets. Millman to win and both players to claim a set seems likely here.
