LiontipsVukic vs Korda. Australian Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Vukic secured a comeback win over Damir Dzumhur in the first round of the Australian Open (6-7, 6-0, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4). Alexander served 24 aces, converted eight break points and lost four games on his serve. For the Australian, this was his second win on open hard court this season in four matches.
Professional qualities
Vukic is a typical representative of attacking tennis, who builds his game around a powerful serve. The Australian strives to seize the initiative from the first hits, as he is extremely weak in defense. Passive actions on the back line do not bring him success, and counterattacking hits often end in mistakes. His main problem in long rallies is an unstable backhand, which opponents use to seize the initiative.
Current indicators in the tour
Vukic is currently ranked 68th in the world. The Australian has won three trophies in his career. He won the last one two years ago at the open hard court in Busan.
Interesting facts for betting
Vukic has never advanced beyond the second round of a Grand Slam tournament in his career.
Current form
Korda beat Lukas Klein (6-3, 0-6, 6-3, 7-6) in the first round of the Australian Open. Sebastian hit seven aces, converted four break points and lost four games on his serve in the match against the Slovak. The American has four wins in five matches on open hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Korda is one of the most promising players of his generation. The American is already close to the elite of world tennis and has virtually no weaknesses. His serve is effective, his forehand is powerful and variable, and his two-handed backhand is one of the main weapons in his arsenal. Sebastian is equally good in defense and attack, and also feels confident in protracted rallies. The only thing that prevents him from claiming higher positions in the rankings is instability in key moments of matches, especially against top opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Korda is ranked 22nd in the world. The American has won four trophies in his career, two of which are ATP titles. Last season, Sebastian won the home tournament in Washington.
Interesting facts for betting
Korda has won 22 of 27 matches against opponents outside the world top 50 over the past two seasons.

2.31Tip and bets
Korda had a short break after the final in Adelaide. It is quite possible that the American has accumulated some fatigue, which may affect the upcoming games. We believe that Vukic will definitely have a chance to cling to a positive handicap in the upcoming match. Especially considering that Aleksandar won the last face-to-face meeting with Sebastian.
Our prediction is Vukic victory with a handicap of (+5) games at odds of 1.99
Bet on total
Vukic and Korda have met three times in their careers. Their last face-to-face encounter was two years ago at a tournament in Toronto. That encounter was played over the top, and we think this upcoming match will also be played over the top.
The second betting tip is total over 37 games for odds of 1.83
Bet on the first set
Three of Korda last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games, and the upcoming match against Vukic is likely to start with a low first set as well.
Betting Tip - total under 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 2.06
