THE PREDICTION
18-year-old Jakub Mensik will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of around 126th after claiming the biggest win of his life, ousting former number 10 Denis Shapovalov in straight sets. The Czech qualified the hard way to make his Australian Open debut this week and he enjoyed an excellent run to the third round of the US Open on is first appearance in New York, although next opponent Hubert Hurkacz looks far too steep of a climb at this moment. 26-year-old Hurkacz moved up to a career-high of eighth in the live ATP rankings after a straight-sets victory over Omar Jasika on Monday to put the disappointment of losing for Poland in the United Cup finals behind him. The Pole has found some of the best form of his career over the past six months, after enduring some inconsistent periods, and his power serve plus elite net skills makes him a serious dark horse for a deep run in Melbourne. Back Hurkacz to win in straight sets, although an outright call with at least a tiebreak could be the more sensible concession against a talented youngster.
TIP: HUBERT HURKACZ TO WIN 3-0
