ATP Australian Open Best Bets Including Shelton vs Humbert

ATP Australian Open 1/64-Finals

Fonseca – Spizzirri: 20.01.2026 03:00 CEST
H2H: 0-1

Joao Fonseca has won three of his last five matches. So far this season, Fonseca has not played any competitive matches. Last season in Melbourne, Fonseca lost to Sonego in the second round in five sets.

Eliot Spizzirri has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Auckland, Spizzirri lost to Marozsan in the qualifying tournament. This is his debut campaign in Melbourne. Last season at the Australian Open, the American lost to Klein in the qualifying tournament.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Fonseca is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. His status was questionable, but he will participate. We expect him to dominate on both wings and dictate tempo.

That being said, Fonseca winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Joao Fonseca winning @1.50 @bet365

Shelton – Humbert: 20.01.2026 03:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Ben Shelton has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Auckland, Shelton lost to Baez in the quarterfinals in straight sets. Last season at the Australian Open, Shelton lost to Sinner in the semifinals in straight sets.

Ugo Humbert has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Adelaide, Humbert lost to Machac in the final in three tight sets. Last season at the Australian Open, the Frenchman lost to Zverev in the fourth round in four sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Shelton is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He enjoys playing on fast courts in Australia. The American is number seven in the world, and if he delivers his best tennis, Shelton should go deep at the Australian Open.

That being said, Shelton winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Ben Shelton winning @1.57 @bet365

Duckworth – Prizmic: 20.01.2026 04:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

James Duckworth has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Adelaide, Duckworth lost to Machac in straight sets. Last season in Melbourne, Duckworth lost to Carballes Baena in the second round in straight sets. He has never made it past the second round here.

Dino Prizmic has won three of his last five matches. This week in Australia, Prizmic failed to qualify for the main draw tournament. However, with several players withdrawing from the tournament, the Croat entered the main draw as a lucky loser.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, this will be an almost 50-50 matchup, but we disagree. Prizmic fumbled under pressure in the final qualifying round. On the other hand, Duckworth enjoys playing in Australia and has more experience at the Grand Slam level. We expect a tight match with Duckworth´s experience prevailing.

That being said, Duckworth winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: James Duckworth winning @2.10 @bet365
