THE PREDICTION

World number 43 Max Purcell needed three sets to overcome Mitchell Krueger on Tuesday but he will feel better for an early test after a few weeks away. The 25-year-old came perilously close to an incredible victory over 11th seed Casper Ruud at the Australian Open last month, just losing out 10-7 in the deciding tiebreak, but this time last season he was grafting on the Challenger circuit in order to feature more in these moments and he should see it as huge progress. World number 67 Marcos Giron also lost in five sets at the Australian Open, to Jack Draper in the first round, but he snapped a six-match losing streak on Tuesday to gain some much-needed confidence. The 30-year-old enjoyed a brilliant run to the semi-finals of the Tokyo 500 in October, losing to eventual champion Ben Shelton, to prove himself a threat in these conditions and he will be backed to the hilt as the home hopeful here. Given that edge, and Purcell’s choppy opener, back Giron to earn at least a set from this first encounter between the two.
