Recommended Pick: Jannik Sinner -10.5 Games
Potential Payout: $210 for every $100 Bet.
Current Form:
Sinner only needed two dominant sets to dispatch Hugo Gaston, who opted not to continue playing after the former world’s No.1 ripped him apart 6-1, 6-2. It was a masterclass performance from Sinner, who won 86 percent of his first balls and scored 16 of 9 return points on Gaston’s second serves, leading to four break-point conversions.
Duckworth advanced to the second round following a five-set win over Dino Prizmic of Croatia 7-6, 3-6, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3. Looking for his breakthrough stint in the third round of the Australian Open, Duckworth is winning 78.1 percent of his first serves and converting 27.8 percent break-point chances this year. He will have to deliver better numbers in his next match if he wants to shock the former world’s No.1 and defending AO champion.
