Day seven of the Australian Open takes place this Saturday, with the third round concluding for the men’s and women’s singles events.

We have the best bets to make on these matches, with sharp odds on one potential upset across tennis betting sites.


Best bet: Taylor Fritz vs Gael Monfils preview

Taylor Fritz has been destroying players so far at the Australian Open, winning two of the six sets he has played 6-0. The closest set he played in the two matches so far is 6-3. He runs into a tougher challenge in round three, however, with the veteran Gael Monfils playing brilliant tennis in Melbourne.

The Frenchman is very likely to win a set here. He is a fantastic mover that always gets one more ball back, which is bound to frustrate Fritz and lead to at least one set goes Monfils’ way.

Over 3.5 sets

Next best: Elina Svitolina vs Jasmine Paolini preview

Jasmine Paolini reached two Grand Slam finals last year, but we think she is going to regress this season. Her play so far in 2025 has not been impressive, making her vulnerable to an upset by Elina Svitolina.

Svitolina’s style of play – she is a counterpuncher by trait – is the ideal style to beat Paolini. Every ounce of power Paolini puts in her shots will work against her, as the ball will fly back to her, and she’s not the best at covering the court.

Best value: Emma Raducanu vs Iga Swiatek preview

Emma Raducanu has never beaten Swiatek or even won a set against her. Saturday may well be a day of firsts, however, as she has looked rock-solid from the baseline so far at the Australian Open.

We like the odds the top bookmakers are offering for her to outplay Swiatek from the baseline for the duration of one set, particularly since the Pole has shown herself to be vulnerable to lapses in recent times.
