THE LOWDOWN
TALLON GRIEKSPOOR
World number 62 Tallon Griekspoor is in the form of his career at 25 years old and a straight sets victory over an admittedly out-of-sorts Fabio Fognini on Monday will only boost his confidence. The Dutchman is yet to lose this season after he pulled out of a quarter-final clash with Rafael Nadal at Melbourne 1 and he is through to the second round of a Grand Slam for the second time in a row after meeting Novak Djokovic at this stage at the US Open last year.
PABLO CARRENO BUSTA
World number 21 Pablo Carreno Busta beat Argentine qualifier Tomas Martin Etcheverry in comfortable straight sets on Monday to make it 5-1 this season on tour. The 30-year-old was prolific at the ATP Cup until losing in straight sets to Denis Shapovalov in the final and he will be pleased to come through after a shock defeat to Maxime Cressy in the first round of the US Open last year. PCB has reached the semi-finals of the US Open on two occasions, with a round of 16 exit here in 2019 his best showing in Melbourne.
THE PREDICTION
There could be sets for both players in this first meeting between Tallon Griekspoor and Pablo Carreno Busta with the Dutchman in such good form but the sensible call is for the Spaniard to come through the outright winner. Griekspoor’s victory over Fabio Fognini is impressive but not unexpected with the Italian well out of sorts and match practice but he looks set for another great season on tour in 2022 regardless of what happens here. Take PCB to win outright for a no nonsense pick.
