This is a massive match for Canadian qualifier Liam Draxl. He makes his Grand Slam main draw debut in round one of the Australian Open against Damir Dzumhur. Read our match prediction below.
In round two of this outdoor hard court tournament, the winner of this match will face either Zhizhen Zhang or 18th-seeded Francisco Cerundolo.
It took Draxl close to seven hours to win his three qualifying matches. Two went to three sets (this is being played over five) and the 24-year-old came from a set down to beat Mackenzie McDonald in his final qualifier.
Before this tournament, his three previous Grand Slams (all played last year) saw him beaten in the first qualifying round. He is now 145th in the live rankings but has been as high as 113th.
Damir Dzumhur has far more Grand Slam experience than his opponent. Twice he has reached the Australian Open third round. His Grand Slam main draw debut took place in 2014 and that means he’s so much more used to playing five set matches than his opponent.
The 33-year-old Bosnian has lost both of his matches played this year. He did take Alexander Shevchenko to three sets in Adelaide and is 66th in the live rankings. We tip him to beat Draxl to reach round two.
