The first round of the Australian ATP will be held between Dutchman Jesper De Jong and Argentine Pedro Cachino. They already met last year, and De Jong won with a score of 2-0. However, the Dutchman has not shown good performance in ATP tournaments, often being eliminated in the first round. This year, his performances have been inconsistent, although he reached the quarterfinals at the Challenger and qualified for the current tournament. His recent match with Hugo Karabeli also did not inspire confidence in De Jong. On the other hand, Cachino has shown good game on the ATP, competing against strong players like Djokovic and Busta. He also made it to the main draw at Roland Garros. However, the Argentine is currently on a losing streak of six matches. Nevertheless, it is time for Cachino to stop the awful losing streak and get back in form. Thus, in this match, there is risk, but the chances of success are in favor of the Argentine.
