de Minaur vs. Hsu Prediction, Odds, Line, Pick, and Preview: January 17| Australian Open 2023
Alex de Minaur is seeded No.22 as he enters the 2023 Australian Open for the sixth time in his career. The 23-year-old is the fan favorite as he hails from Australia. After Nick Kyrgios' withdrawal from the tournament, the onus is on Alex to deliver for his country. Last year was his best in the tournament as he managed to reach the round of 16. Alex is renowned for his ability to cover the court with lightning-quick speed and reaction. He is a right-handed player with a double-handed backhand. He achieved a career-high ranking of 15th in June 2021, and will now face Yu Hsiou Hsu in the first round of the Grand Slam.
Yu comes from Taipei, China and is currently ranked 208th in the ATP rankings, which is also his career-best ranking. The 23-year-old played in the Nonthaburi Challenger Cup in Thailand, where he lost in the quarterfinal against Llyod Harris. However, the youngster has had a good start to 2023, winning five of the six games he has played on hard courts. This will surely put him in a good place coming into this major tournament. However, he has a tough task as he faces one of the brightest young talents the tennis world has.
