FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME VS THANASI KOKKINAKIS PREDICTION

It is hard to believe that Felix Auger-Aliassime is only 23-years-old even now but the Canadian did turn pro back in 2017. On paper, the Canadian has had an average season so far by his standards but a deeper look into his appearances show how unfortunate he has been when it has come to the draws he has faced. He drew Daniil Medvedev in the Round of 32 at the Australian Open, Carlos Alcaraz in the Round of 32 at Indian Wells, Alexander Zverev in the Round of 64 in Miami and then Alcaraz once again at Roland Garros in the Round of 16. He is being knocked out of tournaments by elite players right now but he is not far behind them.

He meets Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis to get his 2024 Wimbledon campaign underway and with all due respect, Kokkinakis holds no fears for him. Assuming Auger Aliassime has no lingering injury issues that forced him to withdraw at Halle two weeks ago, he should ease to victory here although it would be no surprise to see Kokkinakis take a set from him.
