The qualifier Jaime Faria will face off with unseeded Pavel Kotov in the first round of the Australian Open. A second-round battle with Novak Djokovic or Nishesh Basavareddy will await the winner. Below is our prediction for this match.
Jaime Faria has qualified for the main draw of a major for the first time. He won all of his three qualifiers, two by straight sets.
The 21-year-old, who sits 125th in the live ranking, defeated world number 234 Mark Lajal via decider in his final qualifier. Faria, who has won two challenger titles, made his tour debut last season.
Pavel Kotov is the more experienced player in this tie. A one-time tour finalist, Kotov is making his seventh appearance in the main draw at a major.
Last year he made it to the second round in Melbourne for the first time and also qualified for the French Open third round. He will hope to surpass his performances from last season and get off this poor start to the season.
Kotov has lost twice in three appearances, picking up from how he ended the previous campaign. The 26-year-old, who is ranked 97th in the live ranking, has lost eight of his last nine matches.

Our Jaime Faria vs Pavel Kotov Prediction
Our prediction for Jaime Faria v Pavel Kotov is for Jaime Faria to win the opening set. Faria is making his Grand Slam debut and will be eager to make a lasting first impression. He has been in excellent form in the qualifying rounds and won all of his three opening sets.
Kotov on the other hand, though the more experienced player, has struggled this season. He has lost twice and hasn’t won any of his three first sets. The Russian is also not as comfortable on hardcourts as Faria is and could have another slow start to a match.
