Thanasi Kokkinakis

Kokkinakis won his first ever ATP title last year, in this exact tournament! He has fond memories and will be hoping to replicate his performances. Kokkinakis played some solid tennis in the last season, beating some big name players like Cilic, Isner and Tiafoe. He loves playing in Australia, and will be giving it his all against Popyrin tonight.

Alexei Popyrin

Big server Popyrin surprised many last week beating Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets at Adelaide. The 22 year-old had an up and down season last year, winning one Challenger but losing to too many players he really should be beating. Kokkinakis will be a touch test for the Australian, and will surprisingly be the first time the pair have met!

An ultra impressive Alexei Popyrin takes the opening set 6-4 over World No. 6 Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Thanasi Kokkinakis vs Alexei Popyrin Prediction

As impressive Popyrin was last week, we shouldn’t read too much into his win against FAA. The Canadian put in a disappointing performance and typically struggles at the start of the season. This match involves two huge servers and we should see plenty of holes for both players. I do have Kokkinakis as a slightly larger favourite than the odds suggest, and also like the ladder and the overs.
