Australian Open Day 10 betting preview

We’re already at the quarter-finals of this year’s Australian Open and things are really heating up, and we’re not just talking about the action, the temperatures are also rising, which can affect the players.

Day 10 of action in Melbourne sees two of the men’s singles quarter-finals and two of the women’s singles take place at Rod Laver Arena, with Novak Djokovic all set to face Carlos Alcaraz for a place in the last four.

In the women’s draw, both Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka are also in action, and we have selected three bets which combine to give a treble of 20/1 with Boy sports.

Prediction of Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz

On paper, this is potentially the tie in the tournament so far, with Djokovic chasing his 11th tournament win, while the Australian Open is the only Grand Slam that Alcaraz has not won.

Djokovic has improved as the tournament has gone on. After losing sets in his opening two matches against a wild card and a qualifier, he has won his last two matches in three sets against 26th seed Tomas Machac and 24th seed Jiri Lehecka.

Alcaraz’s route to the last eight has been a bit easier, with his opening two bouts against Alexander Shevchenko and Yoshihito Nishioka taking less than two hours. He dropped his first set against Nuno Borges before Jack Draper withdrew with injury during his final match, after just over an hour and a half.

While he may feel fresher than Djokovic, his lack of real competition could catch him out against the 37-year-old who has been there, done that and bought the t-shirt in Melbourne.

Alcaraz’s best record in Australia was last year when he reached the same round before being beaten in four sets by Alexander Zverev.

This will be the eighth meeting between the two players, with Djokovic leading the head-to-head 4-3, and he also won their last match – the gold medal match at the 2024 Olympics, which he won 7/6 7/6.

However, Alcaraz has come out on top in recent Grand Slams, winning both the 2024 and 2023 Wimbledon finals.

This one is really hard to call tennis betting sites has the Spaniard as favorite at 11/21, while you can get 17/10 on a Djokovic win.

If I go with my head, it has to be an Alcaraz win, but there is something about the fairytale of Djokovic breaking the Grand Slam record with an incredible 11th title and with Sir Andy Murray by his side.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova forecast

Sabalenka is one set away as she tries to win the title for a third straight year, in fact you have to go back to the 2023 final for the last time she dropped a set, beating Elena Rybakina 4-6 6-3 6-4 to win the title for the first time.

She took just 71 minutes to beat US Open champion Sloane Stephens in the first round and that has set the tone for the tournament.

Her toughest match came against world number 42 Clara Tauson in the third round, when she needed just over two hours to get through 7-6 6-4.

Pavlyuchenkova needed three sets to get through the first two rounds but now seems to have found her groove and made light work of 18th seed Donna Vekic last time out, beating her 7-6 6- 0.

The 27th seed actually leads the head-to-head against the world number one 2-1, although they haven’t played since 2021, and it’s fair to say Sabalenka is a far more complete player now.

It’s hard to see anything but a simple two-set win for the reigning champion, and here’s why betting sites only offers 4/11, so to make this one worthwhile, we need to get a little creative!

Tommy Paul vs Alexander Zverev forecast

American Tommy Paul will know he needs to be at his best against world number two Alexander Zverev if he is to reach his second Australian Open semi-final.

He reached the last four in 2023 before being beaten in straight sets by eventual winner Novak Djokovic, while Zverev is aiming to reach his third semi-final after previously achieving the feat in 2020 and 2024.

He was beaten in four sets by Dominic Thiem in 2020 and Daniil Medvedev in five sets 12 months ago.

After a tough five-set first-round battle, Paul has made it look easy to get this far, blowing away Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the final round, winning 6-1 6-1 6-1 in one hour and 27 minutes ,

For Zverev, he has only dropped one set so far and that came last time when he beat 14th seed Ugo Humbert 6-1 2-6 6-3 6-2.

The two players have only met twice before and Zverev is still looking for his first win and both myself and the bookies think it will come on Tuesday.

Betting apps has the German at 19/50 for the win, compared to 12/5 for a Paul win, and while I think Paul will give him a game, I’m backing the second seed in four sets.
