THE PREDICTION
World number 161 Jesper de Jong came back from a set down to oust Pedro Cachin on Sunday, using momentum from a strong qualifying round to claim a maiden Grand Slam result on his debut. The 23-year-old impressed against an admittedly out-of-sorts Cachin, who is far from his best away from clay courts, but he could be an early threat to next opponent Jannik Sinner with nothing to lose on this career day. World number four Sinner has already beaten one Dutchman in Melbourne with a straight-sets victory over Botic van de Zandschulp in a rather choppy opener but that could be expected in his first match of the season.
The 22-year-old blossomed late last year to win a first Masters title in Toronto, reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time at Wimbledon, and finish runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the ATP Finals but his crowning achievement was leading Italy to a maiden Davis Cup title, beating Djokovic in singles and doubles along the way. All that meant some extra rest at the start of this year was a wise gamble that should pay off over the coming rounds, with Jesper de Jong set for a tough but enjoyable outing. Back Sinner to win in straight sets.
TIP: JANNIK SINNER TO WIN 3-0
