How fit is Alexander Zverev? That's the big question right now, because the preparation for the Australian Open was not perfect. At the Hopman Cup, he took three wins from four matches - only one loss to Roger Federer was there - but then Zverev was unlucky: First he contracted a thigh injury, two days later he got stuck with his ankle.

Reason to worry? Nope "It's nothing that can get worse," said fourth in the world rankings at the press conference on Saturday. He was playing with a tape, but don't worry, he explained. Especially since he wanted to play without pressure anyway - he had never gone further than round three anyway.

Alexander Zverev is the favorite against Bedene

That should change in 2019. Opening opponent Aljaz Bedene has been a good opponent for the 21-year-old so far: there were two encounters, the German won twice, but one of them was due to a Bedene retirement. He is currently ranked 67th in the world and started the year with two losses.

Betting provider betway sees Zverev as a clear favorite: the odds for him are 1.12 - for Bedene it is odds 6. The match is scheduled as the third game after 1 a.m.CET on the night of Tuesday at Rod Laver, previously playing Madison Keys ( against Destanee Aiava) and Serena Williams (against Tatjana Maria) their opening games. The match between Zverev is of course on Eurosport and as a live stream in Eurosport Player!
