Alex Molcan vs Stan Wawrinka – Match Prediction
Contents
This is expected to be one of the best features of round 1, as both tennis players currently have a similar level. Take note of these betting tips and other tennis predictions for the first day at the 2023 Australian Open.
Alex Molcan to Win a Set
All forecasts and Australian Open predictions are in favour of the Swiss player, however, in recent years, Wawrinka has struggled to win his matches without dropping a set. Molcan will have a chance to break his losing streak as the format of the tournament means that each game takes longer than usual. We are predicting the Slovakian tennis player will win at least one set, because of his age he should be in better physical condition than his opponent.
Over 34.5 Total Games
Based on the most recent results of both players, we think that neither will win in straight sets. Of Wawrinka’s last 8 features, the Swiss player has won 4 times, but only once in straight sets. Alex Molcan won 3 of his last 8 matches, two of which he won without dropping a set. These data further support our Australian Open Prediction.
Alex Molcan vs Stan Wawrinka Preview
Now that we have analysed each of the Alex Molcan vs Stan Wawrinka predictions, let’s take a look at the preview of each player.
Alex Molcan
Alex’s main goal will be to improve his Australian Open Results from the previous year, in which he only reached the second round. In this tournament, the Slovakian will try to end a bad streak of four consecutive defeats, for which he exited four tournaments in the first round. This will be Molcan’s third tournament so far this year.
Stan Wawrinka
Since 2020, the Swiss tennis player has not had a great performance in any of the Grand Slams. In that year his Australian Open result was to reach the quarter-finals. Since then, he has lost in the first round or has been absent from the 4 most important tournaments. Currently, Stan’s level is somewhat irregular, far from the player who won the Australian Open Finals in 2014.
Molcan vs Wawrinka Head to Head
Although both players have been competing for many years, they have never played against each other. Molcan’s career needs big Australian Open results to be considered one of the best. Moreover, Wawrinka is hoping to have a great tournament after missing the previous year.
