THE PREDICTION
World number 63 Aleksandar Vukic will feel aggrieved by this thankless task of a draw against fellow Aussie Jordan Thompson, with his in-form compatriot likely to receive the lion’s share of the support in the key moments. The 27-year-old finally found the form of his career last summer with an impressive ruin to the Atlanta Open final before a tight three-set defeat to top seed Taylor Fritz and wins over Borna Coric and Sebastian Korda in Toronto proved it was not a one-week wonder. However, world number 47 Thompson enjoyed an excellent second-half to last season that sees him come into Melbourne just four places behind his career-high. The 29-year-old enjoyed one of the moments of his career last week when he came back from a set down to upset Rafael Nadal to reach the semi-finals of the Brisbane International and he should have the better of the tight moments in this likely marathon. This match is a reasonable candidate for five sets but taking Thompson to edge through outright is the more sensible call.
TIP: JORDAN THOMPSON TO WIN
