Jordan was quite active at the beginning of the year, playing three matches in Brisbane and two in Adelaide, where he was weaker than Musetti. Thompson played one match at the Australian Open, defeating fellow countryman Vukic in five sets: 3:6, 7:6, 6:2, 3:6, 6:4 in 4 hours and 11 minutes. Thompson served 18 times with three double faults, winning 77% of his points on his first serve and 53% on his second. Return statistic: 29%/40%, winners/unforced errors statistics: 54/60.

Before the start of the Australian Open, Tsitsipas played two matches in the team tournament for his national team, where he beat Diaz but lost to Zverev. In Melbourne, the Greek started the game with a match against Bergs, which ended 3:1 in favor of Stefanos. It is important to say that Stefanos lost the first set 5:7 but won the next three games and lost only five games. During the match, Stefanos made 10 aces with six double faults, winning 73% of the points on first and 54% on second serve. Return statistic: 37%/50%, winners/unforced errors statistics 38/28. Last year, Stefanos participated in the final of the Australian Open, so there is no need to talk about high motivation for the tournament.

In pairing the Australian and the Greek, we suggest starting with the favorite. Stefanos came to Melbourne to defend his last final, meaning the Greek is motivated. The match against Bergs showed that Tsitsipas was not in a bad mood either: after losing the first set, Tsitsipas only lost five games to the Belgian. Tsitsipas has experience beating Thompson at the majors and on hard courts.
