THE PREDICTION
World number 26 Roberto Bautista Agut will not have long to recalibrate from a gut-wrenching defeat to Soonwoo Kwon in the Adelaide 2 final on Saturday, losing in the deciding tiebreak. However, the 34-year-old claimed his 10th and 11th ATP titles last season amidst other disappointments as one of the most consistent performers on the ATP tour and he can be counted on to bounce-back in time to win this opener against Joao Sousa. World number 82 Sousa ha snot won a match on tour since the first round of the last Grand Slam, coming back from a set down to stun Mackenzie McDonald, with a six-match losing streak coming into the Australian Open not exactly screaming confidence. Sousa and Bautista Agut share a surprisingly finely-poised head-to-head record of 3-3, though, and with the Spaniard’s recent title defeat a factor here the suitably cautious pick is backing Bautista Agut to win outright.
