LiontipsMarin Cilic vs Felix Auger Aliassime. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 Australian Open (January 24, 2022).
Command Analysis
In 2018, Cilic was the runner-up at the Australian Open. Back then, he lost to Roger Federer in five sets. The Croatian tennis player was truly excellent at that tournament, and this year we have seen a similar performance from Cilic against Andrey Rublev (7-5, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3). Surely with such play he can count on progressing to the next round of the major. In his other two matches, CIlic beat Emilio Gomez (6-3, 6-1, 6-2) and Norbert Gombos (6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6).
Auger Aliassime had two tough matches in the first rounds of the Australian Open, but in the third match he cruised to victory over Daniel Evans (6-4, 6-1, 6-1). In his opener, the Canadian athlete prevailed over Emil Ruusuvuori in five sets (6-4, 0-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4), and in the following match against Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina, he played four tie-breaks (7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 7-6).
