THE PREDICTION

World number 132 Tomas Machac qualified well last week to reach the main draw of the Australian Open for a second time. Last season the Czech youngster made the second round before a spirited four-set defeat Matteo Berrettini and he will be every bit as confident here as world number 80 Juan Manuel Cerundolo. The 20-year-old lost all three of his Next Gen ATP Finals matches in four sets last season in decent displays off his favoured clay, with this match likely going his way on the red stuff. The Argentine burst onto the scene last season with a surprise title-winning campaign at the Cordoba Open in his homeland but he has yet to produce convincing performances in these conditions. Take Machac to win outright here with four or five sets likely required.
