THE PREDICTION
20-year-old James McCabe received a wildcard to make his Australian Open debut on Tuesday and he will be backed to the hilt by a partisan atmosphere as the home underdog at world number 258. 19-year-old Alex Michelsen comes into his own Melbourne debut at a career-high ATP world ranking of 92nd after fast-tracking his way onto the ATP tour last summer, finishing runner-up at the Newport Open in only his second tournament. The American endured a tough time of it at the Next gen ATP Finals late last year, losing two tight five-setters to Luca Van Assche and eventual champion Hamad Medjedovic, but he impressed on his Grand Slam debut in New York with a four-set second round exit to 23rd seed Nicolas Jarry. Michelsen brings a six-match losing streak at tour-level into Melbourne but five sets should give him enough time to find some form. Back the American to earn at least two sets as the likelier of two debutants to edge through.
TIP: ALEX MICHELSEN TO WIN TWO SETS
