THE PREDICTION

The most experienced doubles player on the court here is three-time doubles Grand Slam champion Elise Mertens but the 27-year-old suffered one of the biggest shocks of the tournament on Sunday when, alongside former world number seven, Belgium lost the mixed Doubles decider to Bulgaria’s much lower-ranked pairing of Isabella Shinikova and Alexandar Lazarov. Neutrals in Perth will be eager to see another live Mixed Doubles contest here between two high-quality teams and with Sakkari likely to beat Mertens and Zizou Bergs well capable of taking the tie to 2-2 we could be in for a thriller. If this match-up were taking place on a regular tour court perhaps Mertens’ experience would be the key defining pivot but there is a real belief behind Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari’s combined brilliance that says they will be a tough team to beat over the three matches of five they can affect. Back the Greek team to win outright here but wait for the other results to come in.
