While Djokovic is easily the best player of the four, the Hunter\/Ebden team has been on fire, dominating both of their matches and winning with relative ease. Their team dynamic looks excellent and could give Australia a much-needed point in this matchup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Hunter\/Ebden in 3<\/p>\n<h4>Ajla Tomljanovi\u0107 vs Olga Danilovi\u0107<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Both Ajla Tomljanovic and Olga Danilovic are winless so far in the United Cup. In fact, they&#8217;ve only won a set combined in four matches. Both are struggling a lot, but in general, Tomljanovi\u0107 is the higher-level player. She has been struggling to get back to a good level after a lengthy injury absence. All things considered, Tomljanovic should be able to pull through here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Tomljanovi\u0107 in 3<\/p>\n<div title=\"Add to My Teams!\">\n<p><a id=\"gFSs9psdTUF974XZZj8z2w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1899501040\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'gFSs9psdTUF974XZZj8z2w',sig:'59OCe-xh3DP6ujjbeK-TgLKpELQAun-vSAQK-Lm00K0=',w:'594px',h:'424px',items:'1899501040',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Alex de Minaur vs Novak Djokovic<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Djokovic 1-0 De Minaur<\/p>\n<p>Calling this a bad matchup for De Minaur would be a huge understatement. When they faced last year at the Australian Open, Djokovic completely dismantled the Aussie, who had nothing to trouble him at all. As tenacious and consistent as De Minaur is, Djokovic seems to be better in pretty much every aspect of the game (almost like a bigger and stronger version of the Aussie). It will be extremely difficult for De Minaur to find a way to consistently win points against the world No. 1. Unless Djokovic has a really terrible day at the office, he should be able to get this point for Serbia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Djokovic in 2<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: Danielle Parhizkaran &#8211; USA TODAY Sports<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 6 at the United Cup will feature a blockbuster matchup between Australia and Serbia, with Alex de Minaur and Novak Djokovic leading their respective nations.
