THE PREDICTION
World number 25 Lorenzo Musetti endured a really tough last third of 2023 to bring no form at all into the new year, although a three-set defeat to Alexander Bublik in Adelaide this week suggests he could be about to steady the ship. The 21-year-old beat Carlos Alcaraz to win his maiden ATP title at the Hamburg 500 in 2022 but he has yet to show his effortless talents for clay enough on other surfaces to make this a trickier call than it should be. World number 110 Benjamin Bonzi is almost certainly the more comfortable player in these conditions but it has been a tough 12 months for the Frenchman, who reached his first final in Pune at the start of last year before suffering injury setback after setback. The 27-year-old brings a five-match losing streak into Melbourne that stretches back to a third-round exit at the US Open, suggesting he could find some joy over the longer format in this first encounter with Musetti. Neither player sparks much confidence but someone has to win, so take both to win a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: BOTH PLAYERS TO WIN A SET
