Women’s Australian Open 2026 Favorites

According to 1xBet odds, Aryna Sabalenka remains the leading favourite to win the women’s singles title at the Australian Open, priced at 2.5. That position reflects bookmakers’ confidence in her consistency on hard courts and her ability to sustain a high level of play in the later stages of the tournament. Sabalenka has repeatedly underlined her status as one of the strongest hard-court players on the WTA Tour, a factor directly reflected in the market.

Second in the betting is Iga Swiatek at 6.0. Despite her overall pedigree and standing as one of the leading figures in women’s tennis, bookmakers have traditionally taken a more cautious view of her prospects in Melbourne. The key factor is her comparatively less dominant record on faster hard courts, particularly when set against her performances on clay, where she is widely regarded as the tour’s benchmark.

Close behind is Elena Rybakina, priced at 6.5, with bookmakers highlighting her powerful serve and aggressive style as key strengths, while noting some concerns over consistency across a full Grand Slam. Coco Gauff follows at 8.0, viewed as a strong contender but still a step behind the leading favourites. Mirra Andreeva, priced at 12.0, rounds out the top five, with the market treating her as a high-upside but higher-risk option.

Men’s Australian Open 2026 Favorites

According to 1xBet odds, Jannik Sinner is the leading favourite to win the men’s singles title at the Australian Open, priced at 1.67. Bookmakers point to his consistent performances on hard courts and strong results at major tournaments. Sinner has shown an ability to maintain a high level of play throughout a Grand Slam event, a factor that places him at the top of the betting market.

Second in the betting is Carlos Alcaraz at 2.5. He is viewed as Sinner’s primary challenger, though bookmakers have priced him slightly higher due to a less consistent record on faster surfaces and the physical demands of a long tournament.

Further back in the betting market is Novak Djokovic at 13.0, with bookmakers factoring in uncertainty related to age and current form despite his extensive experience in Melbourne. Daniil Medvedev follows at 15.0, reflecting recognition of his hard-court pedigree but lingering doubts over consistency at the later stages. Alexander Zverev, priced at 18.0, rounds out the top five, viewed by the market as a higher-risk contender compared with the leading favourites.
