Raonic prepared for this new season perfectly, whereas in comparison to his last season was bad. He won a tournament here once before, defeating Roger Federer in the final game. His first game in Melbourne this year was also successful. He easily defeated Lucas Pouille who’s progress is obvious.
Robredo was struggling in his first game which lasted seven hours. His win was a miracle and he expended too much energy in the Australian heat. It’s obvious that his win over Malek Jaziri will be his last at the tournament. I didn’t expect Robredo to have so many troubles. Maybe, it’s because of his age.
So Robredo will do nothing against Raonic after such an energy-sapping match. Raonic has found his game and can surely defeat the Spaniard. I think we can go under 31.5 game here.
