Australian Open
Taro Daniel VS Denis Shapovalov
- Denis Shapovalov -6.5 Game handicap (5 Units – $1.92)
These two have met twice before with Shapovalov winning 2-0 and 3-0, most recently just last year. He had a decent warm up at Adelaide, beaten by the eventual winner and world number 1 Novak Djokovic in a close game. Difficult to see him not progressing here with a good enough margin to beat the spread.
Olivia Gadecki VS Marta Kostyuk
- Marta Kostyk To Win 2-0 (5 Units – $1.37)
Marta Kostyuk provided a small shock in round 1 when beating well fancied American Anisimova in straight sets and pretty convincingly. She now faces, on paper at least, a much easier opponent to progress to round 3 in world number 199 Olivia Gadecki of Australia.
Jessica Pegula VS Aliaksandra Sasnovich
- Jessica Pegula To Win 2-0 (5 Units – $1.50)
Jessica Pegula, world number 3 looked in good form in round 1 when she progressed with a straight set victory only losing 1 game (6-0 & 6-1). This match will undoubtedly be tougher but she’s in fine form at the moment, she has won her last 5 hard surface matches 2-0 and has a 2-0 victory over Sasnovich previously.
Stefanos Tsitsipas VS Rinky Hijikata
- Stefanos Tsitsipas To Win 3-0 (5 Units – $1.52)
Stefanos Tsitsipas put in a routine performance in round 1 dispatching of world number 61 Halys from France 3-0 and now faces home underdog in world number 169 Rinky Hijikata. Hijikata had a tough round one game eventually winning 3-2 and that may tell here fitness wise.
