While the Italian should win, Collignon looks capable of taking a set and making this competitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LEG 2 \u2013 Hurkacz vs Bergs Over 3.5 Sets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hubert Hurkacz returns from an extended injury layoff and showed positive signs at the United Cup with wins over Zverev and Fritz, but there are still question marks over his durability in best-of-five matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He faces a dangerous opponent in Zizou Bergs. The Belgian is ranked 46th in the world, reached the Shanghai Masters quarter-finals in October and picked up wins over Auger-Aliassime and Mensik at the United Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expect multiple tie-breaks in a match that could stretch deep, which suits the underdog Bergs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LEG 3 \u2013 Maya Joint To Win a Set<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a big ask for 18-year-old Tereza Valentova, who enters as favourite against Australian Maya Joint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s plenty of hype around the Czech, ranked 60 in the world, but Joint is seeded significantly higher at this Australian Open and will have the home crowd firmly behind her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if Valentova wins, Joint should be able to claim at least one set, with the Czech potentially overwhelmed by the occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LEG 4 \u2013 Sweeny vs Monfils Over 3.5 Sets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dane Sweeny came through qualifying to reach his second Australian Open main draw. Last year, he pushed Francisco Cerundolo to five sets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He now faces 39-year-old Gael Monfils, who arrives underdone and out of form. The Frenchman has won just one of his last 10 matches, with that lone victory requiring five sets at Wimbledon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This won\u2019t be straightforward for Monfils. Expect the Australian to take at least one set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betr.com.au\/sports\/Tennis\/104\/Australia\/Australian-Open-Men\/44064\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Multi = $5.21<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We conclude the first round on Day 3, featuring 19-year-old Australian young gun Maya Joint, while Dane Sweeny takes on veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils.
