THE PREDICTION
The Australian Open first round draw has thrown up an interesting little coincidence here as Ricardas Berankis and Sumit Nagal will face each other for the second time in just over a week. Having not played each other before, the pair met at the Murray River Open warm-up event at Melbourne Park last week where Berankis one comfortably in straight sets and the world number 73 went on to reach the round of 16. 23-year-old Nagal is an industrious player but the measure of his defeat last week to the Lithuanian suggests it should be more of the same here. Over the space of five sets, though, it could be worth opting for both players to take at least one in a Berankis win.
