Cameron Norrie vs Luca Van Assche – Match Prediction
Contents
This duel seems to have a clear favourite, but there are still some excellent picks you can make in this fearure. Check out these betting tips and other tennis predictions for the first day at the 2023 Australian Open.
Cameron Norrie to Win 3-0
The British tennis player has won 7 of his last 8 matches, but the opponents he defeated were not easy opponents, including Rafael Nadal, Taylor Fritz, and Borna Coric. With the high level he has shown in recent tournaments, we think he will have no problem winning his first match quickly.
While Luca Van Assche has won most of his recent matches against opponents ranked above the top 100 in the ATP rankings, his most recent feature was a loss to Coria, ranked 76th in the ATP rankings.
Set 1 – Over 8.5 Total Games
Most Australian Open predictions have Cameron Norrie as the favourite to dominate this matchup, however, the Frenchman’s skills cannot be underestimated. We think the first set will be one of the most evenly matched as it will be the first time they meet and they don’t know each other’s styles, so this set will likely go on for at least 9 sets or even longer.
Cameron Norrie vs Luca Van Assche Preview
Now that we have analysed each of the Cameron Norrie vs Luca Van Assche predictions, let’s take a look at the preview of each player.
Cameron Norrie
The British player started the year with good results, three victories in the United Cup, and the first final of the year in Auckland. In this edition of the Australian Open 2023, Cameron will have a great opportunity to add many points to the ATP ranking, since last year he was eliminated in the first round against Korda. The features he wins from this round will add extra points to his account.
Luca Van Assche
The young Italian will take his first steps in a Grand Slam tournament, although Van Assche has a Frech Open title, he won it in the Junior category. The 18-year-old could be a big surprise if he beats an experienced player like Norrie. His youth and energy could be his best weapon in their next match, although his inexperience could be against him.
Norrie vs Van Assche Head to Head
The odds are in favour of the British player for obvious reasons. This is only the first Grand Slam that Luca has qualified for after scoring some points in the previous season. So far, the Frenchman has rarely faced a player of Cameron Norrie’s level.
