Australian Open Multi Bet With 4x Return on Quarter-Final Action

Action is heating up in Melbourne this week, with the quarter-finals of the Australian Open taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday. We’ve broken down all the best odds offered by Australian betting sites and come up with a conservative yet lucrative multi bet. Keep reading to see how long matches can earn you a 4x return this week.

Melbourne Park, January 21st, time TBC

Over 18.5 games @ 1.45

Coco Gauff has so far played like a player who will win this event. She’s been absolutely spectacular in most of the matches played, rarely if ever running into even minor problems.

Badosa, for the most part, has played equally stable. With both looking very good, we have to go a bit in depth about the matchup itself.

It’s one that should favour Gauff on the basis that she can keep being solid from the baseline. We’ve seen her do that for months now, so the assumption of her continuing to do that should be correct. If she does that, then this is a matchup she should win.

But don’t expect her to win easily as Badosa has been tough for her in the past. They played six times so far and Gauff has won three of those.

The American won both of the matches they played last year, though both were rather competitive. They played on both clay and hardcourts, and each time the American needed three sets to get it done.

With that in mind, odds of 1.45 at most betting agencies for this match to go over 18.5 games is a great way to start your multi.

Djokovic +3.5-game handicap @ 1.83

Novak Djokovic has proven to be a really tough match-up for Carlos Alcaraz, beating him three times in the last four matches they played.

Alcaraz has had good success against Djokovic in the past, but lately, it hasn’t gone as well. This mostly has to do with Alcaraz being somewhat shaky himself, so it’s not really Djokovic doing anything spectacular.

That said, their most recent match at the Paris Olympics was a masterclass by the Serbian, but it was also a pretty lacklustre showing from Alcaraz. On faster courts, Alcaraz has had the somewhat upper hand because he has been able to hit through Djokovic.

It’s the same way Sinner beats Djokovic, and he should be able to do that on the Australian Open surface. Alcaraz has had his problems on these courts in the past and Djokovic has looked amazing on them historically, but the Spaniard looks to have made the necessary adjustments.

He’s looked really good this year, considerably better than in the past, and if he plays close to his best he could beat Djokovic. Expect the 10-time champion to keep it close either way though, within the +3.5-game handicap.

Over 3.5 sets @ 1.55

Alexander Zverev has been superb so far at the Australian Open, and is proving to be the rightful second seed in Melbourne.

The German made the semi-final here last year and seems to be finding the courts comfortable this year. He has dropped a few sets here and there, but that’s just how things go with Zverev. He does tend to drop his level periodically during a match, and if the opposing player plays well enough during that time, they can win a set.

We have zero doubts that Zverev will win this match even though he’s never beaten Tommy Paul. But we also have zero doubts that he will drop a set against Paul, who has caught fire. The American has a tendency to hit patches of form like this, so expect him to continue playing pretty solidly.

Either way, the safest option is to back four sets or more to happen because neither player, to us, can win in straight sets. Both are playing too well right now for that to happen.

The Australian Open is into its final week, and there’s some brilliant action to be had at betting companies over the coming days. We’ve put together a multi bet with punts on three of the upcoming quarter-finals in Melbourne to be competitive matches, generating a four-fold return when bundled into a multi bet.
