‘Follow the money’ they say.
If that’s the case, tournament organisers might as well just fast forward right through to the final weekend because based on the current bookmaker odds there are only two men who can win the Australian Open in 2026—and just one woman.
Italy’s reigning 2025 champion Jannik Sinner ($1.83) and Spain’s world no. 1 Carlos Alcaraz ($2.75) are the only players under $10 in the men’s singles draw with 10-time champion Novak Djokovic way back in third at $15.
Local hope Alex de Minaur is paying a very juicy $91 if you’re interested in a parochial wager.

In the women’s singles there are several shorter-priced chances, but again 2023 and 2024 champion Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka is a dominate favourite at $2.75 with Iga Swiatek second at $6.50.
Of course, the bookmakers aren’t always right and it’s worth remembering that just last year America’s Madison Keys stunned the tennis world by winning the women’s singles title after starting the tournament at $33.
This year Keys is paying even more at $36 despite being reigning champion.
