What are the SU results for players favored in round two coming off of a five set victory in round one as an underdog? (Referring specifically in this case to Bernard Tomic)

Not sure if it would be appropriate to limit this to Aussie Open only or all Grand Slams? Also, in this specific instance Tomic is facing Sam Querrey, who is coming off of a straight set victory. That might be an interesting parameter to add to the research.....

Thanks in advance, or sorry if this is a stupid inquisition.....

Also, is it perhaps inconsequential that he was an underdog in round one? I'm not sure if I'm setting too many stipulations....someone let me know what they think!

Definitely would be great to look into. Just a small disclaimer though, Tomic was an underdog ranking-wise, but was actually the favorite betting-wise.

Also, I think it would be interesting to look at just the Aussie Open rather than all Slams, because of the extreme weather conditions. But maybe not, since all Slams are pretty hot. a five-setter in any of them is grueling, to say the least.

Ahhh right you are! I had him in a parlay and I confused him with someone else who was +money. Well at any rate, still worth looking in to I think!
