Fourth seed Lorenzo Musetti and the unseeded Jordan Thompson will battle each other in the second round in Adelaide. The winner of this duel will play either Alexander Bublik or Daniel Evans in the quarterfinals. Lorenzo Musetti has had an inconsistent start to the season and seems to not have gotten over the struggles from the previous campaign. The Italian, who started his season in Hong Kong, has lost one of his two matches. His second-round defeat in Hong Kong is his eighth loss in 10 outings, stretching from the tail end of last season. The world number 25 won just three more matches than the 29 he lost in 2023 and finished with a 10-10 record on hard courts.

Jordan Thompson has had a positive start to the campaign and arrived in Adelaide after a semifinal run in Brisbane. He therefore will fancy his chances for another deep run though he did receive a walkover in one of the rounds in Brisbane. Thompson is ranked 47th in the ATP. He has won three of the four matches he has contested so far. His most recent victory came in the first round against the qualifier Facundo Diaz Acosta. He won in straight sets and relinquished just four games against the Argentine. Thompson registered 22 of his total 41 victories in 2023 on hard courts.
