THE PREDICTION

This match looks a good candidate for five sets on Tuesday as world number 67 J.J. Wolf meets number 88 Jordan Thompson for the first time. 28-year-old Thompson is a well-loved Aussie who will be well-backed by a dedicated, partisan crowd on Court 3 but J.J. Wolf seems the kind of player who will enjoy trying to play the villain of the piece. Wolf reached a maiden ATP tour final at the Firenze Open last October, finishing runner-up to Felix Auger-Aliassime and he looked solid in a victory over Adrian Mannarino in Auckland last week. Thompson’s last tour-level victory was a five-set result over Lorenzo Sonego at this stage of the US Open and he then fell in five sets to Daniel Elahi Galan to suggest this match could go well over three hours. Back both players to win a set if you can find that option but otherwise consider taking this match to see five sets outside of an accumulator.
