Australian Open odds

The stars of tennis are down under gearing up for the first Grand Slam event of the year, the 2024 Australian Open, which will take place at Melbourne Park from Sunday, January 14 to Sunday, January 28. 

In the men’s singles, Novak Djokovic is a warm favourite on betting apps to pick up his 11th title overall and sixth in the last seven years.

Two-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz is second in the betting to win his first title in Melbourne, ahead of Italy’s Jannik Sinner and two-time Australian Open runner-up Daniil Medvedev. 

That quartet are the only competitors at single-figure prices entering the tournament. Everyone else is 20/1 and bigger, with British hopeful Andy Murray a top price of 150/1.

World No 1 and four-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek sits top of the women’s singles market having enjoyed a strong start to her 2024 campaign.

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka is the next in the outright betting and had an excellent record in the major tournaments last year, reaching at least the semi-final stage on each occasion. 

Last year’s runner-up Elena Rybakina shares second spot in the market at some bookmakers with Sabalenka, while Coco Gauff is a best-price of 7/1 to win back-to-back Slams after her victory at the 2023 US Open.

Two-time Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka is a 14/1 chance after recently returning from a year off following the birth of her first child.

Using the tables above, you should be able to find the top price for the competitor you want to back at the Australian Open. 

The tennis betting odds listed at The Independent come from licensed betting sites, with the best price for each market highlighted.

These markets will be updated right throughout the Australian Open, so make sure you check back regularly to see the latest Australian Open odds.
