Luciano Darderi vs Dane Sweeny prediction

Dane Sweeny pulled off the win of his life to upset an ailing Lorenzo Musetti and reach the third round at a Grand Slam for the first time.

The Aussie underdog took advantage of the Italian 13th seed’s physical issues to notch up a 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-2 success.

The world number 123 will now tackle another Italian in the shape of Luciano Darderi after the 21st seed beat Dalibor Svrcina in four.

This will be their first ever main draw meeting, but Darderi did triumph in Australian Open qualifying back in 2023.

It feels like Sweeny is playing with house money at this stage and if Darderi is fit and firing, he is likely to be too strong overall, although you may find decent value in backing Dane for a set.
