THE LOWDOWN
29-year-old Jason Kubler finally grabbed his maiden Australian Open win with an assured display over Sebastian Baez on Monday. The Aussie’s promising career has been blighted by more than his fair share of injuries over the years but he is currently enjoying one of his longest periods of clean health and all that comes with it, with a run to the round of 16 at Wimbledon last summer proof of what he is capable. World number 20 Karen Khachanov can be a frustrating player to follow on tour but the former number eight is enjoying one of his better spells in recent years, with last season’s remarkable run to the semi-finals of the US Open featuring wins over Pablo Carreno Busta and an in-form Nick Kyrgios.
THE PREDICTION
26-year-old Khachanov handed Bernabe Zapata Miralles a third-set bagel in a consummate victory that suggests he is the likelier victor in this first meeting with Kubler but the partisan atmosphere in this match will be something to behold. The suitably cautious move here is taking the Russian to earn at least two sets as the fair favourite but Kubler’s recent form is strong enough to make this a must-watch with Melbourne totally behind him.
