The Australian Open is one of the most exciting tournaments of the year, as it opens the Grand Slam tennis season. There will be six former female AO champions in this edition for the first time in history. Aryna Sabalenka beat Elena Rybakina to win the women’s Australian Open title last year, and she will start her title defense here against Ella Seidel in the first round.
We will see the return of the two-time Australian Open champion, Naomi Osaka, in this tournament after a year and a half absence from the Grand Slam competitions, and she will face Caroline Garcia. The women’s Australian Open 2024 draw resulted in some interesting matchups, as the former AO winner, Sofia Kenin, will face Iga Swiatek in the first round. Danielle Collins will face Angelique Kerber in one of the most anticipated matchups as well.
Here are the odds for the outright winner of the 2024 women’s Australian Open competition:
Iga Swiatek has never won the women’s Australian Open title, but the online tennis odds back her to get her first AO trophy here. Iga lost only once in her last 18 matches, so she is deservingly the favorite. Aryna Sabalenka is the defending champion and will give it all to keep her title. She is a dangerous player on hard surfaces, so she will have good winning chances.
Elena Rybakina went all the way to the finals last year, and she will try to repeat that again. She is a Grand Slam winner, so she has the experience to go on and win the title. Coco Gauff is coming off her best tennis year in 2023, as she won her first Grand Slam tournament, the women’s US Open. Jessica Pegula has never passed the quarterfinals in any Grand Slam competition, but she is coming into this edition in good form.
