A rematch of their meeting at last year's Hopman cup, the mixed doubles match between the Swiss and German teams should be an exciting one. As i type this post out, Federer won his singles match against Zverev while Kerber broke Bencic in the first set. So it looks like it will come down to the mixed doubles game to decide the winner of the tie.

In last year's game, Bencic/Federer won in straight sets. Looking at their form in this year's tournament, the Germans have looked disjointed, notching up only 1 win againsta poor Spain team and 2 losses. The Swiss on the other hand have been playing with a lot better chemistry, scoring wins against both the US and the UK, before a tough 3-set loss to Greece (2 tiebreaks).

Personally, i'm not a fan of this shortened mixed-doubles format but even with the added unpredictability, Bencic and Federer ought to get that win.

Pick: Bencic/Federer (ML) @ 1.65
