THE PREDICTION
This match could be one of the longer first round clashes at this year’s Australian Open between two players who are well-used to playing for three hours or more at the majors. World number 104 Steve Johnson and number 73 Jordan Thompson reached the final of the Atlanta Open last season as an effective Men’s Doubles pairing but it is a surprise to find that this is their first meeting in the singles. Both players have a decent 2-2 record for 2022 so far but with little overall form to speak of over the last few tournaments this could be an enjoyable old-fashioned stalemate between two players comfortable on the baseline. Take this match to see at least four sets if that is an available option, or to go to five for a one-off punt.
