ATP - SINGLES: Australian Open (Australia) - Qualification, hard - Final
Nikoloz Basilashvili to win against Francesco Passaro
odds 1.98 in Pinnacle
in my opinion odds should be around 1.71
Basilashvili came to Melbourne very early (28.12.24) so he practiced on this courts so much and that was visible in his first two opening matches. He was agressor like always, but he not produced many unforced errors (in his standards). Confidence is on high level. This match is simply on his racquet.
On the other hand, Passaro wasn't convincing at all. He won against Zeppieri (first match since summer) and against Barranco who is extremely poor player on the hard court. Passaro needed long 3 sets to win against him and looked tired at the end.
For me it's all about Basilashvili here and he should be solid fav here.
