Jack Draper, the 15th seed at this year’s Australian Open, will take on unseeded Thanasi Kokkinakis in the second round. A battle to reach the fourth round against Aleksandar Vukic or Sebastian Korda will then await the winner. Below is our prediction for this match.
Jack Draper had to battle through five sets to advance to this round. The Briton came from a set down to win 3-2 against unseeded Mariano Navone.
That was his first match of the season and the victory has moved him up to 17th in the live ranking. Draper will be confident of maintaining his 100% start as he has the upper hand against Kokkinakis.
The 23-year-old has won twice in their three battles.
Thanasi Kokkinakis outlasted fellow unseeded player Roman Safiullin to begin his campaign. Making his third appearance of the season, Kokkinakis battled from a set down to eliminate his Russian opponent in four sets.
He has now progressed to the second round for the third successive year. The world number 71 claimed his sole victory over Draper in their only hardcourt battle.
This was on his way to the quarter-finals in Los Cabos last season. Kokkinakis has surrendered a set in his three victories this season.
