THE PREDICTION
Liam Broady set a career-high ATP world ranking of 121st late last year after winning on the Challenger tour but his best result of the season came at the Tokyo Olympic Games, unfortunately without ranking points attached, as he beat world number 12 Hubert Hurkacz. The 28-year-old will likely revel in playing the villain of this particular piece as Australia’s favourite son Nick Kyrgios takes to his favourite Melbourne Arena – now called John Cain Arena – to create one of the best atmospheres on the tennis calendar. 26-year-old Kyrgios has lost each of his last five matches after playing yet another reduced schedule in 2021 but the charismatic Aussie still found time to beat Ugo Humbert in five sets twice, both here at the Australian Open and again at Wimbledon.
Kyrgios’ current ranking of world number 115 means nothing if he is in the mood, which he almost certainly will be at the Australian Open, with a five-set loss to Dominic Thiem here last season the level to which he can aspire. It might take some warming up over five sets but take him to win outright with Broady capable of snatching a set here.
