THE PREDICTION
This should be a hugely entertaining spectacle between Adelaide’s native son Thanasi Kokkinakis and one of the true fans favourites Gael Monfils on Saturday. World number 171 Kokkinakis overcame a strong fightback from Mikael Ymer on Friday with the backing of a partisan crowd that will play their part in this first meeting between the two but Monfils will enjoy the atmosphere no matter where the support goes and he will attract plenty of it with his silky shot-making. The world number 21 made short work of what looked a tough match with Tommy Paul and his level is increasing all the time after a torrid start to last season. There is probably three sets in this likely thriller and, despite the home crowd doing their part, it is the sensible move to pick Monfils to win at least a set here as the likelier of two capable winners.
