THE PREDICTION
World number 55 Jack Draper took the first set before defeat to Jiri Lehecka in the Adelaide final last weekend but he took the positives in a second-successive final reached on tour after ending 2023 as runner-up to Adrian Mannarino in Sofia. The 22-year-old enjoyed a huge payday over the winter break when he beat a talented field to the Ultimate Tennis Showdown title and that cash plus confidence injection should do wonders for his 2024 season, with a first title and a second week placing at a major both very achievable goals.
World number 66 Marcos Giron is a tough opening draw for most players but he claimed just three games to Daniil Medvedev at this stage last season, despite playing well. The 30-year-old is a talented grafter but he can be blasted off of the court by big servers and that is a weapon Draper has in his arsenal. Giron upset Casper Ruud and Felix Auger-Aliassime en-route to the semi-finals of the Japan Open last October but back Draper to find enough recent form to come through outright.
TIP: JACK DRAPER TO WIN
