THE PREDICTION
World number 21 Gael Monfils beat young Argentine Juan Manuel Cerundolo in comfortable straight sets to kick his 2022 season off in perfect fashion. The 35-year-old is a popular crowd-drawer in Australia and his poor form this time last year was consistent with a lack of supporters in stadiums there to motivate him. Whilst the Frenchman is certainly in the twilight of his career he is still well capable of winning more tournaments in 2022, with world number 43 Tommy Paul earning the very first of his career at the last time of asking last season at the Stockholm Open over Denis Shapovalov. The 24-year-old has so far found it tough with two three-set victories over Jiri Vesely and Taro Daniel but his confidence will grow with each passing round and he has a solid chance at reaching the semi-finals here. In fact, as the more predictable of the two to deliver a consistent performance taking Paul to win at least a set even in defeat is the wisest move in this first meeting between the two.
