Expert Betting Tips

Novak played his first match in Brisbane at a good level, and it's clear that he has prepared well for the season. Monfils is a pretty easy opponent for Novak, he's beaten the Frenchman 19 times out of 20 and knows his style of play inside out. We don't think Gael can really challenge the seventh-ranked player. We reckon Novak will win another confident victory on the courts of Brisbane tomorrow.
