Typical early odds range around 1.70 for Peniston and 2.10 for Burruchaga, reflecting Peniston’s marginal advantage and the expectation of a competitive match with DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The match between Roman Andres Burruchaga and Ryan Peniston is scheduled to start at 11:00 PM on January 12, 2026, local time in Melbourne, which corresponds to 12:00 PM UTC. Exact on-court time can shift slightly depending on the duration of earlier matches on the same court.

This Australian Open encounter will be played in Melbourne, Australia, at Melbourne Park, the long-standing home of the tournament featuring Plexicushion hard courts. Main matches are staged across several stadiums such as Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena, and John Cain Arena, all known for their large capacities, retractable roofs, and fast hard-court conditions that generally reward strong baseline play and effective serving.

Given Peniston’s greater exposure at ATP and Grand Slam level plus more consistent recent hard-court results, he is a narrow favorite, with implied odds around 1.70 suggesting roughly a 58–60% win probability. Burruchaga’s underdog price near 2.10 offers value if he capitalizes on aggressive returning and longer rallies, but the market leans toward Peniston’s experience in best-of-five conditions at DexWin.

Roman Andres Burruchaga and Ryan Peniston have either not met before on the ATP Tour or have no notable head-to-head record at main-draw level in the last month, so this Australian Open match is effectively a fresh matchup. With no recent direct meetings to draw on, analysts rely more on their respective hard-court statistics, ranking trends, and recent form to shape expectations.
