THE PREDICTION
World number 71 Christopher O’Connell enjoyed the best season of his career last year, with notable victories over the likes of Alexander Zverev and strong performances in defeat to Daniil Medvedev setting a combative tone. The 29-year-old will be backed to the hilt in this tough opener against former number 17 Cristian Garin but he stands a fare chance at pulling through, with Garin looking increasingly like he will never return to anything like his former level. The 27-year-old comes into Melbourne ranked 88th and with his last tour-level victory coming at the Tokyo Open in mid-October. Do not underestimate Garin’s elusive high ceiling here, with the Chilean making a shock run to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon 18 months ago, but back O’Connell to edge a likely tight contest in front of adoring home fans.
TIP: CHRISTOPHER O’CONNELL TO WIN
