Holger Rune vs Max Purcell Prediction,: The guys have not crossed paths before

Within the framework of the tournament in Brisbane Holger Rune will fight with Australian Max Purcell. The guys have not crossed paths before, and bookmakers consider the Dane a big favorite for the upcoming game. Let's see if the bookmakers are right.

The Dane finished last season with the World Tour Finals, where he failed to get further than the group stage. Two losses in three games to Djokovic and Sinner, two future finalists, and a formal victory over Tsitsipas, who withdrew from the tournament with the score of 2:1 in favor of Holger in the first set. Before the Final, the Scandinavian played three matches at the Paris Masters, losing in three sets to Djokovic, who eventually won the event. In other words, we can say that the Dane finished last season in pretty good shape.

Purcell has four defeats in the last five meetings, the Australian has only managed to beat his compatriot Hijikata, losing to MacDonald, Fritz, Khachanov and Ilkel in 4 tournaments. At the moment Purcell is ranked 45th in the ATP rankings, noticeably behind his future opponent, who, remember, is ranked eighth.

In the upcoming game, a lot depends on Holger Rune and how the Dane plays the upcoming match. If he plays at the same average level as he did last season, we doubt that the Australian has a real chance to win even one set, let alone win the match as a whole. In this pair we are on the side of the favorite, we believe that the Dane will be able to start the season with a confident victory over the host of the court
