Here are their thoughts on Monday's play:

Sloane Stephens to beat Bojana Jovanovski 2-0 at 4/5 (General).
Stephens, who saw off Laura Robson in the last round, is one of the rising stars of the tour and the teenager, already ranked inside the top 30, is yet to drop a set in Melbourne. A strong serve and forehand combination is likely to prove too much for the limited Jovanovski and a straight-sets win looks there for the taking.

Svetlana Kuznetsova to beat Caroline Wozniacki 2-0 at 11/4
Richard Gasquet to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at 13/8
Kuznetsova, Azarenka, Stephens & Williams all to win at 9/4
Seppi to win 3-1 & Murray to win 3-0 at 9/2
I'm not convinced by Tsonga's current form and the direction his game is going in, while Gasquet already boasts a winning head-to-head record against his compatriot.
I also foresee a slight upset in Kuznetsova beating Wozniacki, but all of the other favourites should progress.
