Day 2 – Bet 1
Cilic last year had a 22-19 season, definitely his worst for quite some time. Not being able to find any sort of consistent form with any good runs deep in a Slam. Moutet has started 2020 in great form with 7 wins and his own loss coming to an in form Rublev. He’s dropped players like Wawrinka, Verdasco and Raonic already this year. Over a 5 set match, Cilic would obviously be the favourite as Moutet is 20 years old and still improving. In this spot, Cilic could find a lot of troubles in the young Moutet. He can easily drop a set or two, in fact I think Cilic will find it tough to win at all. 4 or 5 sets here.
Mannarino isn’t quite finding form early on this year going down in the first round of Doha and Auckland. Thiem leads the head to head 7-0, only dropping 2 sets in all of those, including 2 grand slam meetings. Don’t really like a handicap here but I’m pretty sure Mannarino won’t cause any problems for Thiem.

Day 2 – Bet 2
Millman showed up nicely with a few wins in Auckland before going down to Paire in a 3 setter. Taking out Khachanov on the way would’ve been a huge confidence booster. Humbert in form and making a name for himself on the main draw. Has a very nice serve and a strong forehand game. Over 5 sets this matchup is pretty even and with how strong Millman has been I can’t see a 3 setter here.
Kyrgios is playing very well and had a very strong ATP Cup. Gaining a lot of Aussie fans recently, Nick could be set for a huge Australian Open run. Sonego can play well, but I’m not sure he’s ready for the explosiveness power and huge serve that Kyrgios will bring today.

?Millman/Humbert – Over 3.5 Sets

Day 2 – Bet 3
Isner has been firing down thunderbolts this year. Obviously he always does, but when he’s out of form and not serving well, he’s completely useless. At the moment he’s hitting his marks and holding games very well. Monteiro is a low ranked clay courter that will definitely struggle with the big serve. Obviously Isner doesn’t have a great return game and that can be problematic in a handicap. Monteiro really has no big serve weapon, or any threat at all really. Isner often finds breaks against lower players with a softer serve, and this looks like a good spot for Isner to do so. The handicap is -4.5 around other bookies for 1.80+, I’m taking the -3.5 line which requires one less break just in case. He should be able to break each set. If not he wins the tie break easily.
