Alexander Blockx is only in this Australian Open first round as a lucky loser. He aims to make the most of his reprieve with a win over qualifier Jaime Faria. Time for our match prediction.
Whoever wins this outdoor hard court match will face either 13th seed Andrey Rublev or unseeded Matteo Arnaldi in round two.
Blockx had won seven consecutive matches this year and won the Canberra Challenger Tour tournament. He won two qualifiers and was a set all against Jason Kubler before retiring.
Reinstated as a lucky loser, hopefully he won’t have any injury problems here for his Grand Slam main draw debut. Blockx is 96th in the live rankings.
Jaime Faria also played in the qualifying rounds. He won all three of his matches in straight sets. Faria also qualified last year in this tournament and reached round two, losing to Novak Djokovic in four sets. That’s the only time he’s reached round two of an ATP Tour outdoor hard court tournament.
The Portuguese 22-year-old (two years older than his opponent) lost in round two in Canberra. He lost to Rafael Jadar who went on to lose to Blockx in the final. He’s 151st in the live rankings.
We tip Blockx to win.

Our Alexander Blockx vs Jaime Faria Prediction
Alexander Blockx ended last year well with a run to the final of the Next Gen tournament. He carried that good form into this new year by winning the Canberra Challenger tournament. All was going well in the qualifiers before an injury. Hopefully he's fully recovered from that.
Jaume Faira lost in round two of the Canberra Challenger event. The player who beat him went on to be defeated by Blockx. He's made little impact in ATP Tour events played on this surface. Our Alexander Blockx v Jaume Faira prediction is Alexander Blockx wins.
