On January 16, in the opening round of the 2023 Australian Open, John Isner will compete against Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, ranked 43rd in the world. Isner, who is up 8-1 in the head-to-head, has dominated this battle dating back to 2010. He gave up his match at Wimbledon in 2013 after just two games and suffered his lone defeat.
The American won in three sets in the most recent matchup between the two players, which took place at Acapulco in 2019. Only twice in nine meetings has Mannarino defeated Isner, and neither time by a significant margin.

Mannarino vs Isner Key Stats
Isner, who holds the record for the most aces in tennis history, is 15-13 at the Australian Open. His best performances at the event are his appearances in the Round of 16 in 2010 and 2016.
The American is yet to record a singles match victory this year despite competing in the Auckland Classic before the Australian Open. In Auckland, he was defeated by Grégoire Barrère in straight sets in the first round of play.
The American is coming off a 23-17 season that featured a run to his 30th career final, when he made it to the title clash in Houston. However, he ended up losing to Reilly Opelka, thus failing to earn his 17th career championship.
In 2022, Isner also made it to two semifinals and twice reached the quarterfinals. The 42nd-ranked player in the world, who is 37 years old, may not advance very far in the competition but will have the psychological advantage over Adrian Mannarino in the first round given that he has previously defeated the Frenchman eight times.
If he advances past the opening round, he will face either Yu Hsiou Hsu or Alex de Minaur, the 22nd seed.
Adrian Mannarino on his part made his first Round of 16 appearance at the Australian Open last year. The left-handed player, who was making his 13th appearance at the tournament, advanced to the fourth round by defeating Hubert Hurkacz and Aslan Karatsev, but ultimately lost to Rafael Nadal.
Mannarino vs Isner Betting Prediction
John Isner has the advantage in the fight thanks to his massive serve, but Adrian Mannarino is a good player in his own right and might not give up lightly. Although the American is the favorite, he might require more than three sets to advance.
We have witnessed some epic confrontations between the two in the past. Both players like serving and volleying during their service games and will do their best to prevent their opponent from breaking serve early on in the match.
In this one, expect some tie-breakers, so lean towards the total.
Pick: Over 41.5 (-115)
