THE LOWDOWN
World number 141 Peter Gojowczyk’s five-set win over the 23rd seed Ugo Humbert is nothing short of incredible and one of the best results of his career. The 32-year-old reached a career-high 39th
in the ATP world rankings back in 2018 after reaching two finals on tour but he has never made it past the second round of a Grand Slam. He faces world number 40 Dusan Lajovic next up after the Serb won a tough opening round battle with Benoit Paire over four sets. The former world number 23 reached the round of 16 at the Australian Open earlier this year but overall his season has been below par.
THE PREDICTION
Peter Gojowczyk has a huge opportunity here to reach the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time and he deserves it after beating the 23rd seed Ugo Humbert on Monday. However, he may have met Dusan Lajovic just a month too late to find the Serb in a poor patch of form, with Lajovic recently beating Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Canadian Open for one of his best results of the year. Still, Lajovic is rarely through in straight sets at Grand Slams and this first meeting with Gojowczyk looks like there should be sets in it for both players. Take both to win at least a set here and leave the winner up to chance with the scent of another upset in the air.
