THE PREDICTION

World number 24 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina avoided a potential early upset with a surprisingly mature straight-sets victory over firebrand Constant Lestienne on Monday, suggesting that the talented Spaniard is in the mood to set standards this fortnight. The 24-year-old has never made it past the second round of the Australian Open but he has an excellent game for all surfaces, although his run to the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros in 2021 depicts a better affinity with clay. World number 69 Nuno Borges beat Maximilian Marterer in straight sets on Monday for another surprisingly comfortable result. The 26-year-old brings strong form into Melbourne after a confidence boosting title picked up his native Maia Challenger late last season but a first meeting with Davidovich Fokina is certainly the Spaniard’s to lose. Back ADF to win outright here with four sets about as likely as three.

TIP: ALEJANDRO DAVIDOVICH FOKINA TO WIN
