The first Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year is starting on January 14, and it will run for exactly two weeks. Novak Djokovic is the defending champion after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 2023 Australian Open final, and he is the favorite to defend his title in this tournament.
The 2024 ATP Australian Open full draw was an interesting one, as Novak Djokovic will start his title defense by facing Dino Prizmic. Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Matteo Berrettini in one of the most exciting matchups in the first round, while the 2023 ATP Wimbledon winner, Carlos Alcaraz, will face Richard Gasquet in a relatively easy match. Rafael Nadal will unfortunately miss this Australian Open tournament due to an injury. This edition of the AO will be played on hard surfaces as usual.
Here are the odds for the outright winner of the 2024 men’s Australian Open tournament:
The best ATP Australian Open bookies have Novak Djokovic as the favorite for a reason. The Serbian player holds the record for the most AO titles won (10), which is four championships more than his closest rival. Carlos Alcaraz is the only player to win a Grand Slam last year other than Djokovic, and he is the No. 2 seed in this tournament. Alcaraz is the future of tennis, so he will try his best to win the third Grand Slam in his career.
Jannik Sinner comes into this tournament in great form, winning 15 of his last 16 matches. The Italian was one of the few players to beat Djokovic last year, so he will have good chances here. The draw was very good for both Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev, until the quarterfinals at least, so they can’t be underestimated.
