2.19Tip and bets
In recent years, Cerundolo has demonstrated inconsistent results on hard courts, especially against top tennis players. In addition, the Argentine traditionally experiences difficulties at the beginning of the season. De Minaur, on the contrary, is well adapted to fast surfaces and is distinguished by stability. The support of the stands will be an additional advantage for the Australian. We predict a confident victory for Alex in this pair.
Our prediction is De Minaur victory with a handicap of (-7) games at odds of 1.74
Bet on total
Cherundolo has few career achievements on hard courts. We don't think the Argentine is ready to face De Minaur on hard courts in Melbourne. Especially since Alex is playing at home and the support of the stands is guaranteed.
The second betting tip is total under 32 games with odds of 1.91
Bet on the first set
Three of De Minaur last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games, and his upcoming match against Cerundolo 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 1.56
