Playing Styles and Prediction

Kokkinakis has produced some good performances this season but is yet to have the results to show for it. The Australian will be hoping for an improvement soon to avoid a drop down the rankings as he has ambitions for a place in the world’s top 60.

Draper will aim to be aggressive as he looks to use the forehand to take time away from Kokkinakis and combine power with variety to become efficient in his play. Meanwhile Kokkinakis will look to come into the net to finish points off as he looks for depth to force errors from Draper’s game. It should be a tight match just like their previous meeting at the Davis Cup and the Brit should have the composure and confidence to ease through.

Prediction: Draper in straight sets.
