THE PREDICTION
World number 14 Tommy Paul changed the course of his career this time last season with a remarkable run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open, beating the likes of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and rising star Ben Shelton before a straight-sets defeat to eventual champion Novak Djokovic. The 26-year-old is a dependable high performer but his current ranking is arguably a little inflated by his success here, although at his best he has proven to be a thorn in the side of Carlos Alcaraz with two incredible results at successive Canada Masters. World number 81 Gregoire Barrere enjoyed some strong form on the early indoor swing last season and he is capable of much better tennis than his current ranking suggests, particularly on his favoured hardcourts. The Frenchman certainly stands a chance at forcing a fourth or even fifth set against Paul, who will likely be nervous on his return to Melbourne, but the American won both of their encounters last season to look the favourite. Back Paul to win.
TIP: TOMMY PAUL TO WIN
