Berrettini-Rune prediction Australian Open second round odds

It’s not a very easy second round that awaits Matteo Berrettini in Melbourne: in the first Slam of the season, the Roman tennis player will have to face Holger Rune, number 13 in the world who has set himself the goal of returning to the top ten. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Berrettini-Rune, a match scheduled for the night between Wednesday and Thursday 16 January at 1am.

BERRETTINI-RUNE ODDS PREDICTION

—

Matteo Berrettini overcame a not exactly easy first round by beating Cameron Norrie in four sets and after losing the first in a tie break. Then the blue took center stage and closed the match imperiously, even scoring 32 aces (6-7 6-4 6-1 6-3 the final result). For the Roman, passing the first round of a Slam was like breaking a long fast, obviously at ATP tournament level: the triumph in Davis had already regenerated Matteo, who hopes to return to the top twenty in the world as soon as possible. Rune, on the other hand, came to this match by beating Zhang in five sets and risking elimination several times. For the bookies of the main betting sites, the favorite of the match, considering the ranking, is the Danish tennis player, who is offered on the board at 1.83 on Snai and at 1.80 on Gazzabet and Netbet. On the other hand, however, Berrettini is at 1.97 on Snai, 1.98 on NetBet and 1.95 on Gazzabet.

UNFAVORABLE PRECEDENTS

—

At ATP tournament level the two have faced each other on four occasions but for the first time they will play against each other in a Slam where the match is over five sets. Berrettini had beaten the Dane in 2022 in Indian Wells (6-3 4-6 6-4) but then fell in 2023 in Acapulco (6-0 1-0 and retirement) and last season in Cincinnati (2-6 6 -1 6-4) and in Shanghai ((4-6 6-4 6-3).

THE QUOTES

—

Matteo will try to exploit his great serve to put his opponent in difficulty who in 2024 did not reach the goals he had set for himself: a clear decline, in fact, prevented him from continuing his rise. In the past Rune had also been considered as Alcaraz’s only possible rival before the sensational explosion of Sinner. The possibility of Over Games 39.5 must be evaluated in the match given that there is the hypothesis that Berrettini and Rune will even go to the fourth or fifth set: a solution worth odds of 1.67 on NetBet, 1.65 on Gazzabet and 1.63 on Snai.
