The Australian Open has started, and we have already seen some great matches, including the fantastic appearance of Dino Prizmic against Djokovic and the drama between Auger-Aliassime and Thiem. Now, there is another game from the first round and this time, we will see two prosperous players in the face of the Austrian Sebastian Ofner and the home favourite Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Sebastian Ofner vs Thanasi Kokkinakis Betting Preview
I will first start with Ofner, who is probably an unknown player for most of you. He is from Austria and he played a lot of years in the Challenger Tour. But not anymore! He has been a professional ATP player since last season, and now he competes at a higher level. His game is stable from the baseline and he is running a lot. With his actual condition, he can be a real threat to many of the other players from the top 100.
Against Ofner, there is a home player, who is always passionate about playing in Australia – Thanasi Kokkinakis. His attitude to this tournament is huge and I expect him to be a real danger to all players who underestimate him. We saw him one year how he eliminated the greatest Roger Federer, and surely he can do it against a not-so-good player like Ofner. He is relying mostly on his service but his forehand is also very powerful.

Betting Tip – Sebastian Ofner vs Thanasi Kokkinakis
Keeping in mind all the info, I think that we will see Thanasi Kokkinakis winning this fight. Indeed, Ofner is a serious player, but he is one idea better indoors (or on clay). The Australian is a very experienced Grand Slam player, especially when he is playing on home soil, and I think this will be fully to his advantage. When the odds are so close, I will definitely go for the home player.
