Millman’s most successful run came about in the Australian Open this year. He lost to Roger Federer after the Swiss Maestro performed a Houdini act and came from behind to win the match. Since then, the 31-years-old Australian has suffered some 1st round losses at the French Open and Delray Beach Open. The Aussie reached the round of 32 at the U.S Open and Italian Open this year.

John Millman vs Fernando Verdasco: Match Prediction

John Millman

The recent stats favour John Millman over Fernando Verdasco. While Verdasco has had an incredible career, the 36-years-old Spaniard has not been up to form this past year. He hasn’t gotten past the first round in the handful of matches that he has played. His win over Andy Murray appears to be a one-off, unfortunately. 

Millamn will be taking advantage of this and is most likely to come out on top in the pair’s second meeting tomorrow.

Match Prediction: John Millman wins in 3 sets.
