James Blake v Juan Martin Del Potro betting tips and match preview

Australian Open - James Blake v Juan Martin Del Potro (Wednesday, January 20, 05:00 GMT)

An upset could be on the cards in Melbourne tonight.

With questions continuing to be asked over his injury problems, Juan Martin Del Potro could be in for a tough time against America's James Blake.

Blake, a former top ten player, is now just inside the top 50 and goes into tonight's second round tie as the 10/3 outsider.

But Del Potro, seeded four, said after his first round win over Michael Russell on Monday that his wrist wasn't 100% and there had been concerns about his fitness prior to the start of the tournament.

The Argentine, who lost his cool and as a result lost a set against Russell, also withdrew from last week's Kooyong Classic invitational. Although tipped by some to go all the way in Melbourne (15/2 Paddy Power to win the Men's singles), there are definitely doubts not just about him winning the tournament, but also about him beating Blake.

At time of writing, Del Potro is 1/5 to progress to the third round and that looks far too short a price to get involved before the players take to the court. But it is hard to see Blake not winning at least one set here, so it may well be one to bet on in-play while watching live with bet365, while the 15/8 available on Betfair to Lay a 3-0 Del Potro win is also of interest.
