THE PREDICTION

19-year-old Arthur Fils set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 35th after a solid run to the quarter-finals at the Hong Kong Open last week, in which he took eventual champion Andrey Rublev to three sets in a quality contest. The Frenchman finished runner-up to Hamad Medjedovic at the Next Gen ATP Finals late last season, somewhat surprisingly after coming in a firm favourite, but he looks keen to make amends from the off this year. A straight-sets victory over defending champion Richard Gasquet on Tuesday is an excellent way to open his account in Auckland and this should be a much kinder fixture against world number 66 Nuno Norges, who came back from a set down to oust Alex Michelsen - another Next Gen Finals class of ’23. Fils is matching power with precision right now to look a near-certain top 30 player of the near future. Back the sixth seed to win in straight sets.

TIP: ARTHUR FILS TO WIN 2-0
