THE PREDICTION
World number 12 Cam Norrie showed some rare cracks in his usually water-tight mentality on court on Wednesday against a frustrating opponent in Constant Lestienne but the Brit recovered well to win in four sets. The 27-year-old beat Alex de Minaur, Rafael Nadal and Taylor Fritz at the United Cup at the start of the year and he only just lost the Auckland final last week, from a set up against Richard Gasquet, to bring some of the best form on tour into the Australian Open. Norrie reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon last summer before a four-set defeat to Novak Djokovic and if ranking points had been available he would be well inside the top 10 right now. World number 71 Jiri Lehecka stunned 21st seed Borna Coric in the first round in Melbourne before a solid four-set victory over Christopher Eubanks on Wednesday. The Czech looks set for a big year after finishing runner-up at the Next Gen ATP Finals last November but Norrie beat him in three sets in Auckland last week and he will be in better shape here. Back the Brit to win outright, with both previous meetings between the two falling Norrie’s way with sets apiece.
