Australian Open Day 7 Tips - Best Bets, Predictions & Multis

Karen Khachanov vs Luciano Darderi Tips

• Darderi has enjoyed a nice rise over the last 12 months, but the bulk of his success has come in clay 250s - this is simply a big step up in class
• Darderi is a shocking 1-12 vs top 20 players throughout his career, with his only win coming on clay vs Cerundolo
• Darderi has lost nine of those 12 matches in straight sets
• Darderi is also 0-2 in Grand Slam third round matches - it's clear this is his ceiling at the moment
• Khachanov is a savvy veteran with a strong 22-9 record at the Australian Open - the former semi-finalist should be far too good in these conditions

Elise Mertens vs Nikola Bartunkova Tips

• Bartunkova has enjoyed a career breakout in Melbourne, qualifying for the main draw and then conquering 10th seed Belinda Bencic in the previous round
• However, Bartunkova has lost two sets 6-0 in her two matches vs Bencic and Daria Kasatkina - that illustrates how she's still not used to maintaining a high level in these conditions
• So often you see letdowns from youngsters after career breakthroughs - this screams of one of those moments
• Mertens has played her best tennis at the Australian Open in the past - she's a former semi-finalist with a 23-9 record in Melbourne
• Mertens has won 24 of her last 27 Grand Slam matches vs players outside the top 100
• Mertens has won in straight sets in 11 of her last 13 victories over players outside the top 100 at majors

Jannik Sinner vs Eliot Spizzirri Tips

• No real numbers or stats to back up this bet - this is going purely on vibe and the extreme weather conditions predicted for Melbourne on Saturday
• Sinner has been known to struggle in the heat and cramp easily throughout his career - temperatures of 35C and much warmer inside Rod Laver Arena could prove troublesome for the two-time defending champion
• Spizzirri is also in career-best form - he's won 15 of his last 20 matches at all levels, made the quarter-finals in Auckland last week and has defeated two very talented players in Fonseca and Wu to make his first Grand Slam third round
• Spizzirri is a college graduate who has a lot of fight in him - he'll be pumped for this showdown and I think he'll produce a good account of himself here

Iga Swiatek vs Anna Kalinskaya Tips

• Kalinskaya always lifts against the game's elite - she has a stellar 13-13 record against top 10 players
• And how's this for a stat - Kalinskaya has covered a +5.5 games line in every single completed match she's played against a top 10 player
• Kalinskaya has played Swiatek very tough in three previous meetings, beating her 6-4 6-4 in Dubai 2024 before close 3-6 4-6 and 6-7 4-6 defeats in Cincinnati and the US Open last year
• Swiatek hasn't been at her best to start the season and the Australian Open is the only slam she's never made the final of - she's lost to Bencic & Gauff already, along with dropping a set vs Eva Lys in 2026
• Kalinskaya has covered a +5.5 games line in her last 19 matches and is a former AO quarter-finalist - she can make this clash competitive
