Alex De Minaur: stronger five-match record, heavier opener

Return pressure and endurance

Our pick for the Vienna last 16
Learner Tien and Alex De Minaur meet at Wiener Stadthalle for a quarterfinal place. Our pick is Total Over (22) 1.65: Tien’s clean opening performance offers a route to competitive sets, while De Minaur’s comeback suggests that losing the opener need not end his challenge.
The strongest support is the prospect of a deciding set, rather than an assumption of easy service holds. Tien took Hubert Hurkacz to three sets earlier this month, and De Minaur needed three against Tomas Machac here. Those results support that route, but do not establish a consistent high-total trend. A plausible score is 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 to De Minaur, comfortably clearing the line; this is a projected score, not a claim that three sets are certain.
Final betting view
Total Over (22) 1.65 is a measured play on both players sustaining a challenge beyond a one-sided match. The main risk is a straight-set result with an early break in each set, so confidence should remain moderate.
