Australian Open | Multibets of the Week

A few more markets have been released since our last piece, we will be looking to throw some of these into a multibet or three! We have a lot of strong fancies so keep an eye out for those. 

Some very strong favourites in the market have extremely short prices, we look to judge whether the market has this correct. Nevertheless, our multi bets will be paying out around $100 off just a $10 stake! 

Zverev vs Norrie, Men’s Singles

Zverev -4.5 Games @ 1.77 with PlayUp

Kicking off our first multibet is the big German, Sascha Zverev. The 4.5 game spread is a little too low for us against Norrie who was impressive against Ruud with over 60 winners. However, he will struggle to get the upper hand on rallies in this match-up due to the power on the other side. 

Cazaux vs Hurkacz, Men’s Singles 

Hurkacz -1.5 Sets @ 1.68 with PlayUp

We promised some of the side markets to make an appearance, here is our first one! Hurkacz is a very reliable player and is unlikely to be the victim of a blowout. Cazaux is slightly weaker on return of serve and this could be exposed with the Pole’s huge serve. 

Zheng vs Dodin, Women’s Singles 

Dodin +4.5 Games @ 2.10 with PlayUp

Dodin has been exceptional so far in the tournament, we tipped her to win at the big price in our last multibet. This time we will combine a ‘safer’ play to keep this multibet at a respectable payout. 

Kortyuk vs Gauff, Women’s Singles 

Over 18.5 Games @ 1.80 with PlayUp

We will continue to oppose Gauff in the markets where she is priced as a sub 1.20 favourite. Quite simply, she is not on the level of Sabalenka, Rybakina, Swiatek in terms of the ability to dish out batterings on court. We are looking for just 7 games from Kostyuk.  

Djokovic vs Fritz, Women’s Singles 

Djokovic & Under 33.5 Games @ 1.75 with PlayUp

Slightly more generous game total we have gone for here, as there is a chance of a tiebreak in a set. This gives us a little extra leeway. We are confident that Djokovic will continue to dominate in this Quarter-FInal. 

Krejcikova vs Sabalenka, Women’s Singles 

Sabalenka -5.5 Games @ 1.93 with PlayUp

We believe this even more of a mismatch than the market suggests, Krejcikova does not have the power to contest with Sabalenka - then again, who does!? We expect the market favourite to surge home in this match. 

Noskova vs Svitolina, Women’s Singles 

Noskova To Win @ 2.40 with PlayUp

Noskova was the giantkiller of the last round, beating world number one - Iga Swiatek. This price against Eline Svitolina is slightly generous and we make it closer to the $2.30 mark. If she is able to get the upper-hand in the forehand cross-court rallies we could be in the money.  

Azarenka vs Yastremska, Women’s Singles 

Yastremska To Win @ 3.15 with PlayUp

Sticking with the WTA draw for the upsets, Yastremska has dropped just one set in the main draw this year. She is certainly a tricky opponent for Azarenka and we will not put you off backing her plus games line as a bit of extra cover.   

Kostyuk vs Gauff, Women’s Singles 

Kostyuk To Win @ 6.75 with PlayUp

We were always going to be tipping Kostyuk at this price against Coco Gauff. We think these prices against Gauff will pay dividends long-term. We may not win on this occasion, but we will be rewarded backing these prices over the course of the season. 

We have wrapped up the second edition of the multibet this week with a colossal underdog multi which pays just over $500 from a $10 stake with PlayUp. We obviously do not expect this to stroll home but it has a small chance, certainly a bigger chance than 1 in 500!
