AO Tennis
Grand Slam #1
The Australian Open is a tennis tournament held annually at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The tournament is the first of the four Grand Slam tennis events held each year, preceding the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
We will post daily picks through out the tournament, so be sure to check back daily.
Our Picks:
Daniil Medvedev vs Terence Atmane
Pick: Medvedev to win 3-0 @1/3
The French qualifier showed a different dimension to his game last week, especially being so resourceful on the defence against Nava in the final round. Here he’ll need to get back to the basics and just try to keep attacking Medvedev whatever happens. Net play can hurt the Russian with his defensive positioning, but Atmane’s unlikely to execute well enough.
Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Dominic Thiem
Pick: Thiem @13/8
An inauspicious start for both to the new season. Thiem qualified for Brisbane, but then drew Nadal on his comeback from injury, the Spaniard won and went on to the quarterfinal. Auger-Aliassime was seeded at the ASB but lost in the first round. The Canadian will want to make an impact in Australia so will want to take the win. Thiem actually leads the head to head.
Andy Murray vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry
Pick: Murray @4/6
We don’t know how long Murray will last or where his career will go from here, but early rounds of Slams against weaker players aren’t those who will take him out, even now. Give us the Brit.
Lorenzo Musetti vs Benjamin Bonzi
Pick: Musetti @4/11
Musetti peaked around the spring/summer of last year and it’s been a very mediocre patch for him since. He’s not one of the strongest seeds, but it still takes a decent level to beat him. Bonzi is out of the top 100 now and that’s mostly due to injuries. It doesn’t seem like he’s completely out of the woods match rhythm-wise yet.
Sebastian Korda vs Vit Kopriva
Pick: Korda 3-0 @4/5
Korda can’t stay fully healthy, but the sky is the limit for him if he can. Besides, his family can do nothing but win in Australia. Why should he be different?
Ben Shelton vs Roberto Bautista Agut
Pick: Over 39.5 Total Games @4/5
What an amazing first-round match this is. Ben Shelton runs hot and cold, but he’s been red hot at the biggest tournaments recently. If that continues, he could have yet another career-building win here.
