Best Bet: Svitolina to win (+163)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis promises to be a back-and-forth contest between two familiar foes, but I believe Svitolina at plus money is the play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The No. 27-ranked Ukrainian carries plenty of big-match experience. She’s played in 11 Grand Slam quarterfinals \u2014 including three in Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Svitolina found herself in a 4-1 deficit in the opening set against Veronika Kudermetova before winning 11 of the next 12 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Keys was tested in all four matches leading up to this contest. She needed a third-set tiebreak to defeat non-ranked Elena-Gabriel Ruse in the second round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The No. 14-ranked American has been temperamental in recent slams. And having logged 12 matches in the new term, her recent injury history is a worrying factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Svitolina has also been bothered by injuries. But, she came off a four-month absence to be fully fit for this tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Encouraged by her husband’s (Gael Monfils) astonishing performances in the men’s circuit, I say Svitolina is more than capable of winning this contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key stat:<\/strong> Svitolina posted a 16-9 record on outdoor hard courts last season, outperforming Keys’ 7-6 record.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sinner -2.5 sets (+117):<\/strong> Sinner is making a solid case for back-to-back Australian Open titles.
The No. 1-ranked Italian battled through physical issues in the latest match against Holger Rune, which led to a dropped second set. Despite multiple stoppages, Sinner barreled through the next few sets to extend his win streak to 20 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDe Minaur qualified for the Aussie Open quarter-finals for the first time but faced a much easier path to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A shocking 50 unforced errors from Alex Michelsen on Sunday mitigated De Minaur’s 43% first-serve percentage.
The 8th-ranked Australian has yet to figure Sinner out, losing all nine head-to-head matches via straight sets. He’s also failed to take a single set versus top-10 competitors (0-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have plus-money picks on both men’s and women’s quarter-final matches of the Australian Open.
