Tommy Paul of the United States opened as a -980 favorite over Thiago Agustin Tirante of Argentina in the second round of the 2026 Australian Open on Tuesday.
Recommended Pick: Tommy Paul Over 19.5 Games
Potential Payout: $200 per $100 Bet.
Current Form:
Paul breezed through to the second round in Melbourne with a clinical win over compatriot Aleksandar Kovacevic, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. The serve was dominant in Paul’s straight-set demolition of Kovacevic, as he generated 20 aces and won 91 percent of his first serves to hold all their service games. He also broke Kovacevic’s serve four times, scoring 30 return points. Paul, who reached the semifinals of this tournament in 2023, is averaging 8.8 aces per game and winning 78.6 percent of his first serves in 2026.
Tirante clinched a spot in the second round after posting a surgical win over Aleksandar Vukic 7-5, 6-2, 6-2. Ranked three spots outside the top-100, Tirante surprised Vukic and the Aussie crowd with his impeccable service game that produced 20 aces and won him 82 percent of the first serves. Tirante also secured five break-point conversions, which enabled him to put Vukic away in three sets.

Our Tommy Paul vs Thiago Agustin Tirante Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Tommy Paul gets it done in four sets, 7-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4
Tirante has the tools to hold his own against Tommy Paul. The 24-year-old Argentine is averaging at least 10 aces and winning 74.9 percent of his first serves this year. He has already converted 10 of 19 break point chances while boasting a 1-2 record against the top-20 players on the tour. Can he upset Paul? No, but he can make the former Australian Open semifinalist work for his spot in the next round. I still think that Paul’s experience at the Grand Slam stage will be instrumental in fending off a gallant challenge from Tirante in this match.
