Match Preview

This looks like being a fairly close match and both players will head into it feeling confident that they can strike a blow to land a last 16 spot at the Australian Open. While Gilles Muller has won the only hard court game between them, Pablo Carreno Busta has the overall lead when it comes to head to head games between the pair. He also has a fitness advantage, he only played for one and a half sets in his second round game after his opponent retired, while Muller was fighting out a five-set thriller to qualify.

Pablo Carreno Busta vs Gilles Muller Betting Tips

Carreno Busta fought his way past Jason Kubler in the opening round, although he did drop a set to record 3-1 sets win, taking the game 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1. That game was close for long periods and Carreno Busta doesn’t have the quality to power away from opponents and records a comfortable success. Speaking of Carreno Busta betting tips, that is going to keep this game close, although as we do enter the final stages his fitness and the extra break he has had should begin to tell. This game should be fairly close, and with both dropping sets in the tournament already it looks likely that will happen here. However, towards the end of the game, Carreno Busta should have the extra energy in reserve to power away from Muller, and he can record a 3-1 victory to book his last 16 places.

Speaking of Muller predictions, he started the tournament with a good 3-0 victory over Federico Delbonis, beating him 7-5, 6-4, 6-3. However, he didn’t look anywhere near as impressive as that in his second game and needed five sets to beat Malek Jaziri, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7, 3-6, 6-2. That will have taken a little out of him, especially because he is playing an opponent who didn’t play a full game in the second round, and that is going to make it hard for him to win here. Carreno Busta got off to a great start early against Gilles Simon before his opponent was injured and a repeat of that will easily be enough to win the first set in this game. He should come out fresh and ready for play, and he can use that to his advantage and build up a lead against Muller. Carreno Busta knows that an early win here would give him a real fitness advantage going into the last 16, so expect to see him come out attacking early, to try and wrap the game up as early as possible. We really hope you found your tennis bet of the day!
