Australian Open - Juan Monaco v Michael Llodra (Thursday, January 21, 00:10 GMT)

At odds of 200/1, nobody expects Juan Monaco to win the Australian Open. But the number 30 seed looks like a good bet to reach the third round when he takes on Michael Llodra on Thursday.

The Argentine has reached the third round once before here in Melbourne, back in 2008. His style of play is better suited to the slow clay surfaces so some good form over the next couple of months could make him an outside bet to fare well at the French Open later this year.

But Melbourne is playing slower than it has in some years and against Llodra, Monaco's preference to play from the baseline could provide him with an ideal opportunity to reach the next round.

Llodra, currently ranked 72, isn't a great baseline player and will struggle if he is forced to get involved in long rallies. He has never progressed past the second round here and the 2/1 price on him causing what would be considered an upset looks far too short to get involved with.

Monaco is 4/11 with bet365 to progress to the next round and although a short price looks to an odds-on bet worth getting involved with.

If you fancy the 25-year-old to win in straight sets, he can be backed at 7/4.
