Tomas Machac Form
Machac had a slow start to the season, beaten by Jiri Lehecka in his opening match in Brisbane.
The 25-year-old responded in fine fashion, beating Jaume Munar, Tommy Paul and Ugo Humbert on his way to the title in Adelaide.
The Czech got past Grigor Dimitrov and Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Australian Open before a narrow 5 sets defeat to Lorenzo Musetti.
He retired with a knee injury in his opening match in Montpellier, the 18th retirement in his career.

Jannik Sinner Form
Sinner ended 2024 with 15 consecutive wins and kept it going at the Australian Open.
The World No.2 dropped one set on his way to the semi-finals, including a 6-3 6-4 6-4 victory over 8th seed Ben Shelton.
The 24-year-old was leading Novak Djokovic but couldn’t go all the way, going down 3-6 6-3 4-6 6-4 6-4 in over four hours.
The Italian spoke after converting only two of 18 break points against the 38-year-old: “I had my chances. It was in the fifth set. Many break points, I couldn't use them. He came up with some great shots.”
“I decided a couple of different things. Today they didn't work, but that's how tennis is. I felt like also the first set was a great level from both of us. It was a bit a roller coaster, and it happened like it happened today.”

Verdict
Tomas Machac hurt his knee in Montpellier and can’t be trusted to stick with Jannik Sinner. Value is hard to find in Doha so I am placing a small stake on the first set going over 9.5 games.
