Daniil Medvedev - Hyeon Chung

Daniil Medvedev overcame an injured Thanasi Kokkinakis and the crowd in the first round. Hyeon Chung won after Mischa Zvervev had to retire in the second set. They met last year in Milan at the NextGen finals where Chung defeated Medvedev. Chung is just a bit more consistent at this point, which will make the difference.

Pick: Chung at 1.48 on Pinnaclesports

Novak Djokovic - Gael Monfils

Djokovic has the intangible edge and the h2h edge, but I am still not confident that he trusts his serve and his body. Monfils is in really good form to start the season. Yes, Djokovic holds a 14-0 lead H2H against Monfils, including three wins at a grand slam but only 3 of those matches were after 2014. Monfils looked a little shaky in his first match against Munar, while Djokovic won comfortably. I think Monfils will be more of a test than Donald Young was, and with fitness problem that Djokovic has, he should steal a set.

Pick: over 35 games at 2.07 on Pinnaclesports

Jiri Vesely - Adrian Mannarino

A great opportunity for either player, Mannarino has split meetings against Vesely but I have more confidence in his form. Mannarino continues to get results under the radar, but not in an easy match. He will try to reach the third round of the Australian Open for the first time in his career. He played well defeating lucky loser Berrettini in straight sets. Vesely will obviously be tougher, but Mannarino usually does a good job beating players he should beat.

Pick: over 35.5 games at 1.93 on Pinnaclesports
