Another Routine Victory for the Reigning Champion

Sabalenka continues the defence of her Australian Open crown with a second-round match against Spaniard Bouzas Maneiro in midweek. The 26-year-old eased past Sloane Stephens in game one.

Sabalenka is many people’s favourite to go all the way in Melbourne, and she got off to a perfect start last weekend, cruising past American Stephens. Bouzas Maneiro beat Sonay Kartal in the first round, but this will be a tough second match for the 22-year-old. Back Sabalenka to win by a -1.5 set handicap at 1.14.

Bet on Sabalenka vs Bouzas Maneiro

Easy Win for the Superb Serb

Djokovic is back in Australian Open action in midweek, as the sensational Serb takes on Portuguese youngster Faria in round two. The record Grand Slam winner is the overwhelming favourite to prevail.

Djokovic got the job done in the first round, beating wild card Nishesh Basavareddy by three sets to one. Faria kicked off his tournament with a straight-set victory over Pavel Kotov, but he could struggle in this one.

Djokovic should be too hot to handle for the Portuguese, and our money is going on a 3-0 win for the Belgrade-born ace at 1.24.

Alcaraz to Cruise into Round Three

The exciting Alcaraz is back in action in midweek, with the Spaniard going up against Japanese player Nishioka in round two at Melbourne Park. Alcaraz has never gotten past the quarter-final stage in Australia, but he should comfortably book his spot in the last 32.

In Section 6, Alcaraz eased past Alexander Shevchenko in his opening match of the tournament, sealing a 6-1, 7-5, and 6-1 victory. The 21-year-old from Murcia will be looking for another routine victory in midweek, and Alcaraz is priced at 1.39 to win -2.5.
