Kohlschreiber has talent, but he&#8217;s in slight decline and Tsitsipas is a rising star. <strong>Tsitsipas in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steen: Kohli has reached the second week in Melbourne 4 times and is riding a six match winning streak. He has enough game to trouble Tsitsipas but the young Greek oozes talent and should tough his way to a win here. <strong>Tsitsipas in 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Matteo Berrettini vs Tennys Sandgren<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/909471486\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/909471486?et=1jrCafhzQQh_jdPEhDY_dQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=Mg25dwEhAnJmID-CGpENrmogFjkB578lgpBoAMJF_dE=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yesh: Berrettini is in good form right now. He dipped a bit at the end of last year, but he&#8217;s talented and motivated in Melbourne for now. <strong>Berrettini in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steen: Sandgren has talent but he&#8217;s inconsistent. Berrettini is the more reliable pick here and should perform well enough to secure the win. <strong>Berrettini in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Tommy Paul vs Grigor Dimitrov<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1200842695\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1200842695?et=7NnQYxwKT3l35wm0yzP7oQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=rQ6DiusWQq082C2uL6ED69Ahfz3RWP4TBXVrkbkF8Gw=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yesh: Tommy Paul is playing well, but he can&#8217;t deal with Dimitrov at his best. Is Dimitrov at his best right now? I&#8217;m not sure, but he looked pretty good in the final three sets of his opening round. <strong>Dimitrov in 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steen: Paul&#8217;s form is excellent and he can&#8217;t be counted out here against the more accomplished Dimitrov. Dimitrov is the favorite over best of 5 though and should survive this upset alert. <strong>Dimitrov in 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Roberto Bautista Agut vs Michael Mmoh<\/h3>\n<p>Yesh: Roberto Bautista-Agut looks in very strong form right now and does well on these courts. He won&#8217;t have any trouble in this match. <strong>Bautista-Agut in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steen: Mmoh has a future but RBA is peaking early in the season and looks like a potential top 5 player. With Bautista Agut at his best Mmoh has little chance to grab an upset win. <strong>Bautista Agut in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1200676382\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1200676382?et=Qb8fQehvTvtoRd5z0xrWoA&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=abOIL-jt2UXpseeREI-t0vPTefsFw5N8mRmq_IURqtU=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefanos Tsitsipas faces veteran German Philipp Kohlschreiber in a battle of talented shotmakers at the 2020 Australian Open round 2.
