Australian Open Day 3 betting odds & predictions

The second round of the 2020 Australian Open kicks off on the third day of the tournament, where the easy matches start to disappear and more competitive juices start flowing.

Many of the male players won’t begin their second round until Day Four of the tournament, whereas the main events of the women’s competition will be on display this Wednesday.

Here are our Australian Open betting predictions for Day Three, with odds courtesy of BetOnline.

Australian Open Day 3 Men’s betting tips

You will need to wait until closer to the date to back in some of the more popular players in the Australian Open men’s singles draw, but there are still plenty of talented types taking to the hardcourts on Day Three. The odds are often much better in the second round than the first, meaning there are good options available for Australian Open multi bets.

Guido Pella ($1.36) vs Gregoire Barrere ($2.90)
Ranked number 25 in the world, Guido Pella is a class act from Argentina. Pella quickly dismissed Australia’s John-Patrick Smith in straight sets, meaning he did not exert too much energy. It was a different story for Gregoire Barrere, who needed over three hours to see off Mohamed Safwat. Barrere has a dangerous serve, but Pella is a good returner of serves. Trust in Guido to advance into the third round.

Daniel Evans ($1.52) vs Yoshihito Nishioka ($2.40)
Daniel Evans may not be the best server in the Australian Open, but his strong play in the rally was on full display as he came back from two sets down to defeat Mackenzie McDonald. Yoshihito Nishioka is an emerging talent from Japan, but he is not experienced enough to match the strength and smarts of Great Britain’s Evans.

Stefanos Tsitsipas ($1.10) vs Philipp Kohlschreiber ($5.80)
There may not be a better 21-year-old than Stefanos Tsitsipas, who destroyed his first-round opponent in under two hours. Tsitsipas is a genuine threat to the likes of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, and he will not break a sweat against his 36-year-old opposition, who has very little hope heading into this contest.

Australian Open Day 3 Women’s betting tips

The three favourites in the Australian Open women’s singles will all play on Wednesday. You have to get behind Ash Barty on every occasion possible, and she is heavily fancied to make it through to the next round.

Naomi Osaka ($1.11) vs Saisai Zheng ($5.50)
What’s not to love about the quiet Naomi Osaka, who continues to get the job done each time she steps on the court? Osaka is the reigning champ at Melbourne Park and wants to go back-to-back, so we cannot see China’s Saisai Zheng getting close in this match. Osaka will advance to the third round with a comfortable win.

Tamara Zidansek ($13) vs Serena Williams ($1.01)
Serena Williams kicked off her campaign with a routine 6-0, 6-3 win over Anastasia Potapova. Williams has entered battle mode and will not be slowing down for anyone. Tamara Zidansek was very impressive in her straight-set victory over Na-Lae Han, but she will struggle against Serena.

Ash Barty ($1.13) vs Polona Hercog ($5.20)
Despite exiting in the first round in every Grand Slam last year, Polona Hercog is ranked 48th in the world and has made it to the second round this year. She will now face the brilliant Ash Barty, who will be hard to beat on her home deck. Barty had a minor scare when she lost the first set 5-7 to Lesia Tsurenko, but she responded in emphatic fashion and should make short work of Hercog.
