Who would have tipped Casey Dellacqua to be the last Aussie standing at the Australian Open?
It now looks a massive chance to happen, with the West Australian equal favourite at $1.90 to win her Round 3 match against Kirsten Flipkens.
Considered a $21 outsider to be the last Aussie left at the start of the tournament, she looks a decent chance given that Sam Stosur is the $2.10 outsider for her Round 3 match against Ana Ivanovic ($1.74).
Dellacqua is the best bet to continue at the Australian Open, with Olivia Rogowska $3.73 against Elina Svitolina ($1.28), Nick Kyrgios $2.99 against Beniot Paire ($1.36) and Thanasi Kokkinakis $14 against Rafael Nadal ($1.01).
“The patriotic side in us wouldn’t mind us getting a few wrong and the Aussies causing a few upsets, but at the moment we are pinning our hopes on Casey Dellacqua to be the best bet to go the furthest,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
