Filip Krajinovic v Mackenzie McDonald Head to Head
The pair have never played each other before. This will be the first match between the 29-year old Serb, and the American, three years his junior.
Krajinovic Made to Work by Tunisian Wildcard
Although Krajinovic had been in mixed form coming into this tournament, he might have expected a relatively easy opening match after being drawn against the Tunisian veteran, and wildcard, Malek Jaziri, the world 297.
It proved to be anything but, at least in the first set.
The Serb began strongly, breaking Jaziri in his opening service game, but the Arab hit back to level, and it went to a tie-break which Jaziri went on to win.
Krajinovic regrouped, broke early in the second set, and then again to level the match.
The third set went with serve until Jaziri was broken once more, affording the chance for Krajinovic to serve out, which he duly did.

McDonald Upsets Russian Seed
Whilst many of McDonald’s American contemporaries have been back State-side since the Australian Open, competing in events like Dallas and Delray Beach, McDonald opted to head for Europe, playing in Montpellier and Rotterdam, before moving to the Middle East.
He is still searching for his best form in 2022 and has yet to get beyond the second round of any event he has entered, though he has at least emulated that feat in Dubai.
Drawn against the world number 22, and number seven seed, Aslan Karatsev, he began their first-round match as underdog.
However, having saved six break points in the course of the first set, including five in a marathon sixth game, it was he who achieved the breakthrough when the Russian dropped his serve, and McDonald took full advantage to take the lead.
Karatsev then was broken twice at the start of the second set. He recovered one of them, but one more dropped his serve and handed the match to the American.
Krajinovic v McDonald Prediction and Tip
Krajinovic is the higher ranked player, but McDonald will be buoyed by his victory over Karatsev, and the surface may suit his game better,
Tip: McDonald to win: 4/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
