#3 (10) John Isner vs Jerzy Janowicz
Two giants cross swords in this first round face-off which can turn out to be a humdinger. Service bombs will be flying from both sides and tie-breaks are certain in this showdown.
Isner is the better-placed player who is seeded 10th and he began 2016 by reaching the quarter-finals of the ASB Classic. The fiery Janowicz is currently ranked 56th and he even had to play at Challenger tournaments last year.
Form and consistency lie with the American in this match between two players who have never met each other on the Tour. Isner should come through though it won’t be easy.
