Jannik Sinner easily passed the previous two rounds at the Australian Open. But here it should be noted right away that Yannick got not the most difficult opponents.
In the first match, Yannick defeated Briton Kyle Edmund – 6:4, 6:0, 6:2. After that there was a victory over the Argentine Thomas Etcheverry – 6:3, 6:2, 6:2.
In this case, you should pay attention to Sinner’s not the best performance in Adelaide. In the second round, the Italian barely won against Tanasi Kokkinakis, after which he lost to Sebastian Korda (5:7, 1:6).
Marton Fucsovics reached the third round in Melbourne for the fourth time in his career. His best result at the Australian Major remains reaching the 1/8 finals in the 2018 and 2020 seasons.
Last year turned out to be very difficult for Marton, but now the tennis player is in very good physical shape. This is evidenced not only by the game of the Hungarian in recent matches, but also by the gorgeous muscles that he demonstrated after winning in the second round.
In the first match, Fucovic won a strong-willed victory over Federico Coria. In the fifth set, the Argentine took only two sets.
In the second round, Fucovic defeated South African Lloyd Harris (6:2, 6:3, 5:7, 6:4), who had previously stopped Italian Lorenzo Musetti.

Head to Head
Marton Fuksovich leads with a score of (2-1) in personal meetings. Given their current form and level of play in recent matches, Yannick Sinner should continue his smooth run in Melbourne with an easy win against the Hungarian.
Prediction
| Jannik Sinner win 1.10 | Marton Fucsovics win 7.00 |
Three years ago, Yannick lost to the Hungarian in the second round of the Australian Major. And the tennis player lost to Marton at Wimbledon in the 2021 season.
Since then, Sinner has improved significantly, but there is a suspicion that in the upcoming match he will not be able to beat Fucovic with an overly devastating score.
Prediction: Jannik Sinner to win in four sets.
