THE PREDICTION
World number 32 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina passed a significant test on Tuesday against the enigmatic Alexander Bublik, taking the first set 6-0 before having to fight back to claim the last two in a made five-setter. The 23-year-old grabbed two solid wins over John Millman and Brandon Nakashima in Adelaide last week before a loss to Roberto Bautista that puts his level somewhere in the late 20s mark right now but world number 35 Tommy Paul looks the just-about favourite as someone enjoying some strong form. 25-year-old Paul reached the round of 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time last summer at Wimbledon as he markedly improved across the summer, with a three-set victory over Carlos Alcaraz in Montreal one of a few eye-catching results. A first meeting between the two looks a great candidate for five sets, with both players seeing four deciders at majors last season. Back Paul to earn at least two of them inside an accumulator or take the five-set option as a one-off.
