Tommy Paul vs Thiago Agustin Tirante prediction
Tommy Paul continued his record of having never lost in the first round at the Australian Open, delivering a ruthless serving display to see off compatriot Aleksandar Kovacevic in straight sets.
The big-serving American fired in 20 aces and dropped just four points on serve in what was an encouraging performance from the 19th seed.
Thiago Agustin Tirante's first foray into the main draw of the Australian Open was a positive one as he stunned Sydney's Aleksandar Vukic in straight sets.
Like Paul, Agustin Tirante registered 20 aces during his first-round contest, which will surely give him plenty of confidence heading into this encounter with another big server.
There are unlikely to be too many breaks of serve in this one, with serves very much dominant, so we expect there to be over 32.5 games.
Tommy Paul vs Thiago Agustin Tirante tip: Over 32.5 games
