  1. Yeah, and also Krajinovic!

    Magda Linette to bat Diana Shnaider at 1.80 with Bet365

    It's a bit surprising that Linette is back to playing already, which is why I'm taking this with a bookie that voids retirements, but I haven't liked Shnaider for a while now, and she's just too inconsistent from the back of the baseline. The Hua Hin conditions were a bit tricky over the weekend as well, and that can help only Linette.

  2. J.Sinner/D.Medvedev - Over 3.5 sets at 1.63 with Pinnacle

    I don't really see much happening in the women's final, but I am going to go for the "obvious" bet in the men's showdown. I get that Sinner is the favorite, but it's very difficult for me to see him winning 3-0, and the reverse result is even more improbable. Both have shown a lot of fight in Melbourne, and I reckon the pressure will manifest itself once one of them comes within the reach of winning the trophy. Let's hope for a good one!

  3. Back Will Novak Djokovic win the Australian Open? - No at 1.82 with Pinnacle

    I'm going to go against most of the forum here, but I'm just not that convinced by Novak. He struggled big time ahead of the Australian Open, and, before that Mannarino beatdown, he had some issues as well. It's going to get tougher from now on, and there are some solid candidates in Sinner, Alcaraz, and co. I'd be surprised, but not shocked, to see him lose against Fritz in the very next round.

  4. Ajla Tomljanovic (+6) to beat Jelena Ostapenko at 1.51 with Pinnacle

    I'm a bit low on confidence right now, but I like this alternative line. Tomljanovic has always covered this line against Ostapenko, and the Australian will have the full house on her side in this meeting as well. She's been in a fine enough nick so far in 2024 and, while I don't think it will be enough to get a win against Ostapenko, I don't really see a blowout here.

  5. We have an early start for this year's Australian Open!

    Leolia Jeanjean (+1.5 sets) to beat Caroline Dolehide at 1.93 with Pinnacle

    Jeanjean has qualified for the main draw while beating two very decent players in Rodionova and Lys, and she also beat Dolehide when the two met back in 2022. That was on clay, and there's no doubt that Dolehide is the favorite here, but I very much like the odds for Jeanjean getting a set at least. I think that she's a very live underdog under the circumstances.

  6. Natalija Stevanovic to beat Maya Joint at 2.02 with Unibet

    Maya Joint put in a couple of very good performances in Canberra, where she upset Errani and Seidel before losing to Tauson. That's impressive, but I don't think we should start putting her as the favourite against players like Stevanovic just yet. Most importantly, Stevanovic has this very annoying playing style that's all about slices and low-bouncing shots, which is something that inexperienced players often struggle to deal with. At odds against, I'm happy to back Stevanovic here.
