THE PREDICTION

World number 30 Felix Auger-Aliassime continues to struggle to find his previous best, resilient form but a five-set victory over fellow ailing top 10 star Dominic Thiem on Monday will boost his confidence. The 23-year-old came into Melbourne at a career-high ATP world ranking of eighth this time last year after winning his first four ATP titles in a searing 2022 campaign but he only just saved 2023 from a total blow-out by defending the last of those in Basel last October. World number 178 Hugo Grenier claimed a debut win at the Australian Open with a five-set upset over fellow Frenchman Alexandre Muller on Monday. The 27-year-old qualified the hard way last week to bring plenty of momentum into this biggest match of his career and he certainly stands a chance at the upset against a mis-firing Auger-Aliassime, whose Basel title might have papered over some cracks. The Canadian should be coming through in straight sets but take at least a tiebreak in this match with Grenier seeing two and Auger-Aliassime one in their respective openers.

TIP: OVER 0.5 TIEBREAKS
