THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Thanasi Kokkinakis enjoyed a famous, emotional day in his hometown of Adelaide as he came back from a set down to beat Arthur Rinderknech in his first ATP final. The Aussie has battled more than his fair share of injuries over the years after bursting onto the scene as a teenager and to see him start 2022 in this form is a much-needed feel-good story for Australia and tennis right now. Kokkinakis came close to beating Stefanos Tsitsipas over five sets in the second round of the Australian Open and he will be a bigger presence this time around with a title behind him. World number 126 Yannick Hanfmann qualified for the main draw as the eighth seed and now faces the unwelcome task of playing in-form Kokkinakis and the entire crowd at one of the larger stadiums Melbourne can clear for this one. Take the Aussie to win outright here and start a momentum the country will get behind.
