THE LOWDOWN
Nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic won his 35th-straight match in Australia on Tuesday with a comprehensive straight-sets result over Roberto Carballes Baena. The 35-year-old is technically defending a trio of Australian Open titles won here from 2019 to 2021 considering his infamous deportation last season saw him withdraw from the tournament. There is no doubt that whole affair will be further motivation for the Serb here in Melbourne, as will getting closer to a return to world number one. Djokovic won his 21st Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last summer but ranking points were not available there, controversially.
THE PREDICTION
This looks an open-and-shut case for a straight sets victory in favour of record title-holder Novak Djokovic in a first meeting with world number 191 Enzo Coaucaud. The 27-year-old Frenchman beat Hugo Dellien in straight sets on Wednesday in a delayed first round match but if some opponents are a considerable step-up in ability this is the boss level match at the Australian Open. Djokovic knows the importance of winning these earlier rounds as quickly as possible and he should be backed to make it 12 wins on the spin with a comfortable three-set victory.
