Tuesday’s ATP slate saw two tight tiebreaks take down a top seed, a pair of three-set marathons in Auckland, and several lower-ranked players advancing with momentum. Australian qualifier Aleksandar Vukic delivered a massive win in Adelaide, taking out No. 7 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a pair of tiebreaks to electrify the home crowd. In Auckland, Alex Michelsen fought through a slow start to advance, while Nuno Borges survived another three-setter.
Service holds, tiebreak execution, and physical fitness were key across both tournaments. Bettors watching for home-court motivation and three-set specialists had plenty to work with.

Aleksandar Vukic vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Recap: Vukic wins 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5)
Vukic delivered the biggest win of the day — and possibly his career — by outlasting No. 7 seed Tsitsipas in two tight tiebreaks in Adelaide. The Aussie qualifier held serve throughout and handled pressure points better.
He built a 4-2 lead in the first tiebreak and rallied from 1-3 down in the second. Tsitsipas hit 13 aces but couldn’t convert chances. A major result for bettors who faded form and leaned into home-court advantage.
Andre Vavassori vs Gabriel Diallo Recap: Vavassori wins 6-3, 7-6 (4)
Italy’s Andre Vavassori closed well in both sets to defeat Canada’s Gabriel Diallo. The match stayed mostly on serve, but Vavassori was more efficient on second-serve returns and timed his break well in Set 1.
The tiebreaker sealed it. A solid match for value bettors who spotted form edges between unseeded players.
Tomas Machac vs James Duckworth Recap: Machac wins 6-3, 6-3
No. 8 seed Tomas Machac didn’t waste any time, taking out Aussie James Duckworth in just 72 minutes. He broke serve multiple times and dominated baseline exchanges.
Machac controlled the tempo and left no window for a comeback. Bettors backing favorites in this spot got a smooth win.
Marton Fucsovics vs Opponent Recap: Fucsovics advances
Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics delivered another early-round win, keeping his 2024 start trending upward. Match stats weren’t listed, but his serve and forehand are clicking again.
Solid ground game and rally tolerance have made him a sharp side in slower hardcourt matchups.
Quentin Halys vs Opponent Recap: Halys advances
France’s Halys moved on with a controlled win. Known for his serve-plus-one approach, he stayed aggressive and efficient.
Another early-round result that likely paid off for chalk or spread bettors.
Rinky Hijikata vs Opponent Recap: Hijikata advances
Aussie Rinky Hijikata kept the home crowd rolling with a composed performance. Without exact numbers, it’s clear he handled the pressure.
For live-betting angles, Hijikata often offers comeback potential if he drops a set — one to track in later rounds.
Alexander Shevchenko vs Opponent Recap: Shevchenko advances
Kazakhstan’s Alexander Shevchenko moved through with little trouble. A strong service game and flat groundstrokes helped him take control early.
Bettors watching qualifiers and unseeded players in tight matchups saw value here.
ASB Classic — Auckland
Across the Tasman, Auckland saw longer matches, more unforced errors, and deeper rallies. A couple of seeds struggled early, but the bigger stories came from grind-it-out victories by Americans and Portuguese players.

Alex Michelsen vs Mariano Navone Recap: Michelsen wins 2-6, 6-2, 7-5
Michelsen started flat but responded with better depth and net play to win in just under two and a half hours. He converted 5 of 15 break points and used his athleticism well in the final set.
Navone looked stronger early but couldn’t maintain his baseline control. For those who backed the American to recover — or live bet after Set 1 — this was a smart play.
Marcos Giron vs Alexandre Muller Recap: Giron wins 6-2, 6-2
Giron was sharp from start to finish, needing just 73 minutes to dismantle Muller. He broke early in both sets and never looked threatened.
One of the easiest matches of the day to cap. Chalk bettors had this one comfortably.
Nuno Borges vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry Recap: Borges wins 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (2)
Borges had to fight for this one. After trading sets with Etcheverry, he pulled away in the third-set tiebreak to secure the win.
He played the cleaner points in the tiebreak and managed court positioning better down the stretch. Another great hit for over bettors or anyone playing long-format props.
Fabian Marozsan vs Opponent Recap: Marozsan advances
Hungary’s Marozsan continued his solid early-season play with a composed win. Match stats were not detailed, but his serve placement and low error count have made him a sneaky pick on hard courts.
Hamad Medjedovic vs Opponent Recap: Medjedovic advances
The Serbian moved through efficiently and continues to build confidence on the ATP main tour. Another young name to keep tracking in Round 2 — especially in faster conditions.
Alejandro Tabilo vs Opponent Recap: Tabilo advances
Chile’s Tabilo advanced with a clean win. With limited info, bettors can note that his recent form has been trending upward — particularly on hard surfaces where his lefty serve can bite.
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Opponent Recap: Perricard advances
France’s Perricard closed strong and continues to make noise with his serve-heavy game. He’s a high-variance player but dangerous when locked in. Great for bettors eyeing overs or props.
