2021 Australian Open Day 8 betting tips – Monday 15/2/2021

Places in the quarter finals are on the line as the fourth round of the 2021 Australian Open continues on Monday. Here’s a look at what’s to come, with odds provided by Sportsbet.com.au – one of Australia’s best tennis betting sites.

Australian Open Day 8 men’s betting tips

Mackenzie McDonald $11 vs Daniil Medvedev $1.02
Daniil Medvedev has risen up the men’s rankings to no.4, yet he has never made it past the fourth round of the Australian Open. Mackenzie McDonald is not our tip to win, as his Russian opponent is a class act, but we do think the American will push Medvedev enough to cover the huge game line.

Stefanos Tsitsipas $1.22 vs Matteo Berrettini $3.75
There are few matchups better than those between two players ranked inside the top 10, which is exactly what we have here. Both European stars have been hard to beat thus far, which is why we think they will go beyond three sets with Stefanos Tsitsipas – who has the better track record in Australia – to eventually finish on top.

Fabio Fognini $5.50 vs Rafael Nadal $1.12
Fabio Fognini caused a big upset with online bookmakers when he swept Alex de Minaur in the third round. Although we expect Rafael Nadal to knock out Fognini, the world no.16 has shown enough to suggest he can take a set off the Spanish superstar. Nadal has shown no mercy thus far, but he is yet to face a seeded player.

Australian Open Day 8 women’s betting tips

Jessica Pegula $2.87 vs Elina Svitolina $1.36
Jessica Pegula has been on a mission at the 2021 Australian Open, beating Victoria Azarenka without dropping a set in the first round, smashing Sam Stosur by 11 games and then demolishing Kristina Mladenovic in just over an hour. With all these great results going her way, we think Pegula will push Elina Svitolina further than anyone else has this tournament. Svitolina is still our tip to win, but this will be her biggest test yet.

Donna Vekic $3.25 vs Jennifer Brady $1.28
Donna Vekic is exceeding expectations at the moment and could cause another upset on Monday. While Australian Open betting sites favour Jennifer Brady in this contest, she must not underestimate the impressive Croatian. We cannot split the two in the head-to-head stakes, but we think both of them will win a set.

Ash Barty $1.22 vs Shelby Rogers $3.75
Even with a slight niggle in her thigh, Ash Barty has her eyes on the prize at Melbourne Park. Shelby Rogers has done very well to make it this far, but this is another kind of test altogether. Barty will use her patented backhand slice to win another match without dropping a set.
