Tennis Tips & Predictions: Australian Open Round 3

Summary

Round 3 has come into fruition so quickly!

The Australian Open has had some great moments up to this point, and the tournament is reliving its rich sporting history.

With a ton of backing from fans and investors all around, Melbourne is rocking with excitement here in the tail-end of the first week of matches.

Although we’ve had some sad moments such as the Nick Kyrgios withdrawal, and the Rafael Nadal injury concern, there is plenty to be ecstatic about heading forward.

Both the men’s and women’s draws are opening up massively after several key upsets in the first two rounds.

There is no better time to be a “field” player than right now. Of course, the big giant in Novak Djokovic is still in play, as well as Iga Swiatek.

But the path to the semis and quarters is now severely up for grabs, for players who would never have an opportunity in previous iterations.

Match Betting Previews

Andy Murray versus Roberto Bautista Agut

Andy Murray and RBA will clash for a reflection of the earlier years in AO 2023.

Murray has just finished with two separate five hour matches in the first two rounds of this tournament, and he has deserved every right to advance into the third round.

Delicious and scintillating play from the Brit, there is a lot to be happy about with his level right now.

Murray is playing on house money at this point, and a possible big run into the latter stages isn’t completely out of the question.

Coming in as a heavy underdog in both matches, Murray has a lot of reason to believe in himself for one more magical run.

Look for Andy to relish this opportunity and try to take the game on his terms.

Roberto Bautista Agut had to go through a 2-0 in sets comeback, to win in five sets against USC standout Brandon Holt this past week.

RBA is known as one of the most consistent players to ever play the game, but his results need more conviction, especially in recent times.

RBA has the ability to beat anyone when he’s on top of his game but will probably be heading into this one with the same amount of fatigue Murrray has endured.

For your odds, there is value in taking the old legend.

Betting Prediction - Andy Murray to win the match at 3.0x odds and above, figure this might drop down closer to game time.

Madison Keys versus Victoria Azarenka

Madison Keys will look to further her great start to 2023 with a key win versus Vika Azarenka.

Both players are experienced with grand slam drama and will fancy their chances on court this upcoming night session.

There is no doubt that Azarenka will want to turn the tide on her season, but she will have to keep up with the power hitting of Keys.

Making less mistakes is always easier said than done for Keys, though.

Three sets aren’t out of the question, but a two set win for the hotter starter may just be all it takes.

Betting Prediction - Azarenka Money line in a tight contest.
