THE PREDICTION
World number 55 Miomir Kecmanovic is coming off of a bruising defeat to Jack Draper, from a set up, at the Adelaide International but he got the first laugh in another intense clash with the Brit at the Davis Cup Finals last November. The 24-year-old is far better than his current deflated ranking suggests but it come sometimes feel like he struggles with identity on court, with this time two years ago the pinnacle of his career so far when he reached the round of 16 in Melbourne and went toe-to-toe with the likes of Carlos Alcaraz on the early hardcourt swing. World number 104 Yosuke Watanuki grabbed some eye-catching results late last season, upsetting Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Citi Open and reaching several finals on the Challenger circuit, but this looks a very tough draw. The 25-year-old is a tireless force on court that makes this match a reasonable candidate for four or even five sets but it would be a surprise to see Kecmanovic crash out here.
TIP: MIOMIR KECMANOVIC TO WIN
