Betting on the 2027 Australian Open
The Australian weather in January can be very hot which suits some players and makes it difficult for others that come from cold climates.
Novak Djokovic has won 10 titles in Melbourne, but age appears to be catching up with the Serbian who has struggled to beat the top players in tennis, most notably Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
The Serbian beat Sinner in the 2026 semi-finals before falling to Alcaraz in the final. Djokovic will be 39 in May 2026 and it's uncertain if he will compete in another tournament in Melbourne.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner were the clear favourites in 2026 and it expected to be the same situation in 2027
Aryna Sabalenka won two straight Australian Open titles in 2023 and 2024. She has lost in 3 sets in the previous two finals, going down to Madison Keys and Elena Rybakina in 2026.
It was Rybakina's second Grand Slam title are winning Wimbledon in 2022. She is expected to challenge Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and Amanda Anisimova for the top spots in women's tennis.
