Tomas Machac vs Tommy Paul prediction
Tomas Machac advanced to the semi-finals in Adelaide after getting past Jaume Munar in straight sets. The Czech saved all four break points on his serve as he won 6-4 6-4 after one hour and 30 minutes. Machac lost in the first-round of the Brisbane International last week, but this has been a much stronger showing from him on the eve of the Australian Open.
He will face Tommy Paul next. The American defeated Aleksandar Vukic to make his first semi-final of the year. Paul broke at the end of the first set and opened up a 3-0 lead in the second as he won 6-3 6-2 after little over an hour.
Machac leads the head-to-head 2-1 and 2-0 on outdoor hard court. He beat Paul in Tokyo and Shanghai in 2024, though the American did win their last meeting in Rome last year. Machac is likely to stay consistent and force Paul into errors, though the American has the ability to dictate pace and control exchanges from the baseline if he starts well. There could be momentum shifts in this match, and it may go all the way to three sets.
