Jakub Mensik vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina Prediction & Picks - ATP Australian Open

Naturally, having beaten recent Adelaide winner Felix Auger-Aliassime in five sets, the Spaniard will be high on confidence, but that was a real battle, one that lasted nearly five hours, so he's also likely to be high on fatigue, which is perhaps not something that can be said for Mensik who got the job done against the world number six in under three hours. That win suggests that he's ready to go deep into this tournament and it also suggests that the Czech player can get the job done here. Given that he also beat Davidovich Fokina in straight sets on a hard surface when the pair last met (and both were fit), Mensik looks a little generously priced to win by two sets here. Our Pick: Jakub Mensik -1.5 Set Handicap.
