The Murray River Open tournament takes place in Melbourne, and in this analysis I will detail the first round match between Juan Ignacio Londero and Mikhail Kukushkin, and I will conclude with the related bet.
Melbourne is a town of 5 million inhabitants, located in the south of the country.
This tournament is small, ATP 250, with a prize pool of $ 320,775.
The host is the Melbourne Park complex, which features fast-paced, hard-covered outdoor grounds.
The competition table includes Wawrinka, Kyrgios, Humbert or Dimitrov.

Juan Ignacio Londero: Team form, news and statistics

Juan Ignacio Londero is a 27-year-old Argentine, ranked 81st in the ATP.
And Londero is a solid athlete, who I think can achieve results in the coming years, after all being at that age of sports maturity.
Juan is a slag player, often playing on this surface, another proof being that all 7 of his trophies came on such pitches.
But even on hard he can sometimes make solid matches, at the US Open leading him 2-1 score sets Coric but being back.
In 2020 he has quarterfinals in Cordoba and semifinals in Buenos Aires.
The end of the year was mixed, at Roland Garros playing well, passing Federico Delbonis but being eliminated in 4 sets by Cecchinato.
Then the Parma challenger had to retire.
In 2021 it is the first match.
I would normally see my favorite Londero here, but he has a problem.
Yesterday he came out of quarantine, staying 14 days in the hotel room without the right to train. So he has this big disadvantage, the conditions being difficult, for example Nishikori, who was on the same plane with him, saying that he can’t get in shape so quickly after this quarantine so he can’t be prepared for the Australian Open.

Mikhail Kukushkin: Team form, news and statistics

Mikhail Kukushkin is a 33-year-old Kazakh, ranked 89th in the ATP.
And Kukushkin is an average athlete, quite inconsistent, but in the past he was ranked 39th in the world.
But Mikhail is in decline, as he is close to leaving the top 100 in the world, in addition to being characterized by this inconstancy.
Because Mikhail can win well-known names on the circuit, for example making a very good match at the US Open with Garin, but he can also lose in short sets as happened at Rolland Garros in the match with Pedro Martinez, when he took only 4 games.
However, even so, at the end of his career, he can accumulate points, and this tournament is the ideal opportunity for him.
In 2020 he has the quarterfinals in Astana.
A modest year, saved by that 3rd round of the US Open.
And in 2021 it is his first match.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Juan Ignacio Londero vs Mikhail Kukushkin

Juan Ignacio Londero is a slayer, but one of the good players on the circuit who can perform in the future.
But here he has a problem, only yesterday coming out of that harsh quarantine, in which he was not allowed to leave the room, so he could not do any training.
His flight colleague QR7493, Nishikori, who in turn was in such conditions, said it was impossible to get in shape earlier than two weeks. Mikhail Kukushkin was also in quarantine, but he was able to train 5 hours a day, so he has this advantage.
Thus, I consider Mikhail to be the favorite, my prediction going on his victory at a odds offered by Betano.
