Australian Open Fourth Round Betting Tips
A Zverev vs U Humbert
We are heading towards the business end of the Australian Open, and one of the more intriguing match-ups of the day sees Alexander Zverev and Ugo Humbert doing battle for a spot in the final 8.
Both players have been solid in their matches in Melbourne to date, though my slight preference lies with the general form of Alexander Zverev. There were some question marks regarding his fitness coming into the tournament, thanks largely to his withdrawal midway through the United Cup. Nevertheless, he has made his way through to the fourth round relatively comfortably. Humbert has dropped just the one set on his way, losing the opener to Arthur Fils last round.
These two met in the final of the ATP Paris Masters 1000 late last year. Humbert was a surprise finalist, and didn’t bring his best on the day, losing 2-6 2-6. I don’t feel this match-up is the best for the left handed Humbert, with Zverev rock solid on his backhand wing and able to manage playing left handers better than most on tour. In fact, Zverev has won his last 27 matches against left handed players. Not a bad stat at all!
I was a little disappointed with the level that Humbert produced against Fils, and I feel he was a little bit lucky to have made his way through that match courtesy of a Fils injury and subsequent retirement. I don’t find myself heading into large minus games handicaps for Zverev all too often, however I am happy to step into the -5.5 games for a 1.5 unit selection in this one.

The Australian Open 2025 is heating up as we head into Day 8 of the tournament. With some exciting matches on the schedule, it’s time to take a look at some betting tips for the day.
1. Men’s Singles – Novak Djokovic vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas
Novak Djokovic is the favorite in this match as he looks to continue his dominance in the tournament. Tsitsipas has been playing well, but Djokovic’s experience and skill on hard courts give him the edge. Bet on Djokovic to win in straight sets.
2. Women’s Singles – Ashleigh Barty vs. Naomi Osaka
This is set to be a highly anticipated match between two of the top players in the world. Barty, the hometown favorite, will be looking to use the crowd support to her advantage. However, Osaka’s power and consistency make her a tough opponent. Bet on Osaka to come out on top in a close match.
3. Men’s Doubles – Bryan Brothers vs. Murray/Soares
The Bryan Brothers have been a dominant force in doubles tennis for years, but Murray and Soares are a strong team as well. This match could go either way, but bet on the Bryan Brothers to pull out the win with their experience and chemistry on the court.
4. Women’s Doubles – Hsieh/Strycova vs. Mertens/Sabalenka
Hsieh and Strycova have been playing well together and have a strong partnership on the court. However, Mertens and Sabalenka are a formidable duo with power and skill. This match could go the distance, but bet on Mertens and Sabalenka to edge out the win in a close match.
Good luck with your bets on Day 8 of the Australian Open 2025!
