THE PREDICTION
World number 68 Laslo Djere stunned Casper Ruud in three sets last week in Auckland to complement two solid wins over Jaume Munar and Alex Molcan already in 2023 but defeats to Maximilian Marterer and Constant Lestienne are made more frustrating because of them. The 27-year-old is at his best on clay but well capable of performing well above what his ranking suggests and it often feels like the Serb is better as the underdog than when he is expected to win. That makes this Melbourne opener a pretty tricky call against world number 130 Zizou Bergs, who will be eager to prove himself better than some woeful displays for Belgium at the United Cup two weeks ago. 23-year-old Bergs enjoyed some eye-caching results last season but he needs a career-best year in 2023 to exorcise a few demons. Djere beat Bergs in three sets in their previous meeting back in 2021 and taking him to win outright here looks the suitably cautious move.
