Australian Open men’s singles round 3: Murray to smash Sousa

The younger Tomic, 23, is the heavy 1/7 favourite being seeded 16th, and a tempting 5/2 to come through in four sets, having defeated him 2-1 in their only previous meeting.

Millman is a 9/2 shout, but the Brisbane-born 26-year-old is unlikely to extend his winning streak after edging tough ties with Diego Schwartzman and Gilles Muller.

Spain v USA

Section seven of the men’s singles thirds round this year sees two Spaniards taking on American opposition, all seeded, to set up a meeting.

Two-time semi-finalist David Ferrer (1/5 match favourite) is up against Steve Johnson (7/2), who has never got past this stage at any Grand Slam before, while Dan Evans’ conqueror Feliciano Lopez (13/8) takes on giant John Isner (1/2).

Ferrer won his only battle with Johnson 2-1 in the Vienna Open final last year, and so is 5/2 to triumph 3-1 this time.

Lopez and Isner, meanwhile, has three wins apiece against the other. The latter in particular is somewhat of a five-set specialist, while their only Australian Open meeting, back in 2012 at this same stage, went the distance. Odds of 9/4 are available for there to be over 4.5 in this clash once more.

Wawrinka and Raonic to set up crunch clash

Elsewhere, fourth seed and 2014 winner Stan Wawrinka (1/12) should make light work of fellow 30-year-old Lukas Rosol (13/2), while Milos Raonic (1/5) might have a slightly tougher workout against Viktor Troicki (7/2).

Canadian Raonic has won two of his three battles with Troicki, though the Serb was the victor last time out last year. Back the former to triumph 3-1 at 5/2.
