THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Pavel Kotov enjoyed a strong end to last season, finishing runner-up to Gael Monfils in a tight Stockholm final to bring a career-high ATP world ranking of 64th into the Australian Open. The Russian also made the semi-finals of the Sofia Open before defeat to eventual champion Adrian Mannarino and a quarter-final exit in Hong Kong last week suggests he could be a dark horse for the third round at least with the right draw. World number 97 Arthur Rinderknech endured a tough 2023, failing to build on an impressive breakthrough the two seasons before, and it remains to be seen if he can move back towards his career-high of 42nd. The 28-year-old brings a five-match losing streak into this first encounter with Kotov but sets are likely to go both ways before a winner is found. Back Kotov to win outright or consider a one-off on this match to see five gruelling sets.
TIP: PAVEL KOTOV TO WIN
