Daniil Medvedev - Learner Tien

The Australian Open, mixed doubles... the first world-ranked pair in this genre, Briton Lloyd G. (32 years old) with Slovakian Tereza M. (27 years old), naturally considered favorites on paper, but in this tournament, in both doubles and mixed doubles, the American national team's main doubles player Christian Harrison (31 years old) and experienced doubles player Irina Kh. (30 years old) are demonstrating an ideal game. In the first round of the tournament, they confidently eliminated the 2024 winners (a Taiwanese-Polish pair). In this match, I choose Christian and Irina to win the first set. I believe that they will understand the authority of their opponents and immediately engage in active play, trying to dominate and ultimately take the first set.

Australian Open, mixed doubles... experienced locals Storm H. (31 y/o) with Monaco representative Hugo N. (34 y/o), have high hopes for this tournament (no one is forbidden to dream), but in this match I choose the previous year's winner (twice) American Taylor T. (29 y/o) paired with experienced doubles player from Croatia Nikola M. (37 y/o).

Here, it would be a battle of titans, I would go against the Minotaur, but I would root for Bublik and indeed, his recent results are really good, it's difficult to decide who will win, but it's definitely an easier decision to make. I truly believe that there will be at least one tiebreak, both opponents are worthy and it will be an intense match.
