Jordan Thompson - Nicolas Kicker Tennis prediction

Nicolas Kicker is in Australian open only because of his good records on claycourt tournaments, he doesn't have the right game for this kind of surface and this is a very tough draw for him in my mind.The Australian is eager to play his best tennis here being one of the local players and needs to take care of a good first round draw against one of the worst players that are in the tournament at the moment on this surface. I think that Jordan will win this one in straight sets but if by some chance he wins a set or so in this one it can still pass with a couple of easy ones by Jordan.Nicolas played two matches this season on hardcourt, both lost in straight sets and only took 12 games total in 4 sets to Fucsovics and Benchetrit.
