THE PREDICTION
World number 119 Mackenzie McDonald looks a shock entrant to the second round on paper but the American has pedigree for Grand Slam runs and if he could figure out what makes him perform to this level over five sets he has the potential to break the top 50. He beat promising young Finn Emil Ruusuvuori in four on Sunday after coming back from a set down and his form is enough to suggest his next opponent Cristian Garin as outright winner here despite the Chilean’s excellence on this surface. 24-year-old Garin also came back from a set down to beat Juan Ignacio Londero on Sunday and whilst that could be a nerve settler it also suggests this match could see at least four sets. Take world number 23 Garin to win outright here but it could also be a valuable option to take McDonald to win at least a set in this likely lengthy match on Wednesday.
