Tomas Machac vs Stefanos Tsitsipas prediction
Adelaide International winner Tomas Machac goes into this match full of confidence after ousting Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in the first round, with the Czech star clearly full of confidence after his recent ATP title.
Having also reached the last 16 of last year's US Open, the 25-year-old is visibly enjoying himself on hard courts and represents a danger to any player in the draw right now.
Former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas had too much for Shintaro Mochizuki in his opener, defeating his Japanese opponent in four sets to surpass the shock first-round exit he suffered in Melbourne last year.
The 2023 finalist is a difficult player to trust right now though, whereas Machac is enjoying his tennis and thinking clearly on court. We're backing the Czech talent to eliminate the 31st seed.
