Pronostic ATP Open d’Australie
Seeded number 9, Russian Andrey Rublev will face Brazilian Joao Fonseca in the first round of the Australian Open.
Very consistent at the highest level for a long time, Andrey Rublev is coming off his worst season in 5 years. The Russian experienced several premature setbacks during the year, defeats that we were not used to. His last tournament played in 2024, the ATP Finals, was like the season of the 9th player in the world with 3 losses in as many matches. Will the winter break have been good for Andrey Rublev? In the first tournament played in 2025, it was difficult to be reassured since the Russian was knocked out as soon as he entered the fray in Hong Kong by the Hungarian Fabian Marozsan. It is therefore with little certainty that Andrey Rublev will begin his Australian Open on Tuesday with a match that looks like a trap against Joao Fonseca.
The Brazilian is perhaps not scary from his 112th place in the world. However, the South American arrives in Melbourne with full confidence! Winner of the Next Gen Finals tournament, which brings together the best players under the age of 20, Joao Fonseca rode his momentum by winning the Challenger tournament in Canberra to start the year. Then, forced to go through qualifying to enter the final draw of the Australian Open, the Brazilian did not have the slightest problem going through the 3 rounds without conceding a single set. Suffice it to say that the young Auriverde prodigy will have no pressure during this first round against one of the tournament's outsiders.
