Best Americans To Bet: 2025 Australian Open (Men and Women)

• The Australian Open will take place from Jan 12, 2025 to Jan 26, 2025.
• Many American tennis players have short odds to win the Australian Open.

MELBOURNE – With the 2025 Australian Open a month away, tennis fans and sports bettors are gearing up for the season’s first Grand Slam. The spotlight shines bright in Melbourne and several American players are making waves as potential contenders.

From seasoned veterans to rising stars, the question isn’t just who will claim the trophy—it’s which American is worth your legal sports betting wager.

Here’s a closer look at the U.S. hopefuls poised to make an impact down under.

Men’s Australian Open Odds 2025

American Men To Bet In The Australian Open

Taylor Fritz – Going to the ATP World Finals in November (losing to Jannik Sinner) means Fritz has become one of the elites. In that tournament before the break, Fritz beat Zverev, de Minaur, and Medvedev, who have all been top 6 players in the world at one point.

Ben Shelton – The 22-year-old from Atlanta turned on the jets last year, breaking into the top 15. Shelton made the 2023 Aussie Open quarterfinals and could serve and volley his way into the second weekend again.

Frances Tiafoe – With 10 top 10 wins in the last three seasons, Tiafoe has marked his spot amongst the top tennis players. But, the US Open seems to be the only Grand Slam that Tiafoe has exceeded expectations. Still, at +6600 odds to win the Australian Open, it could be a good hedge bet for later on.

Tommy Paul – The 2023 semifinalist has shown no issues beating top players over the last two years, even taking down Alcaraz as the #1 seed. With hard court being his specialty, this tennis bet could hit, but there is definitely value elsewhere.

Sebastian Korda – A quarterfinalist from 2023, this is the only time he’s made it to the second week in a Grand Slam. While he doesn’t have much success against the top 10, Korda has seen his ranking increase from 41 to 33 to 24 to 23 over the last four seasons.

Christopher Eubanks – The 6′ 7″ American is the least likely to win the Australian Open in 2025. Never getting past the second round, Eubanks has lost a few winnable matches during the Aussie Open in the past. While the thought of winning $20,000 on a $100 risk seems nice, put that $100 elsewhere.

Women’s Australian Open Odds 2025

American Women To Bet In The Australian Open

Coco Gauff – Former World Number 1, Coco made the semifinals in the last Australian Open before losing to the champion Aryna Sabalenka. Despite an easy run into the second week last year, she beat Sabalenka in the 2023 US Open just months prior to last year’s event. While the +450 odds don’t offer much in return, she’s always a safe bet to win some matches early on.

Jessica Pegula – Still looking for her first Grand Slam victory, Pegula is well balanced, having been to the quarterfinals or further in every Grand Slam tournament. Making the Australian Open QF in 2021, 2022, and 2023, she underperformed in 2024. While many have faith in Pegula, her 2022-2023 run seems to be why she’s so loved, but will have a lot of obstacles to overcome to win.

Emma Navarro – Breaking out in 2024, Navarro recorded her best finishes in every Grand Slam last year, improving in each one as the season progressed. Sitting 8th in the WTA rankings, she beat Sabalenka and Coco on hard courts last year. At +3000, this is certainly worth a small unit play.

Danielle Collins – Making the Australian Open Finals in 2022, her performance in the first Grand Slam has gone down since. While it’s still her best event (73% win percentage), she’s too unreliable with the goal of hitting winners on every play. While successful, it also creates a lot of errors – something the champion doesn’t often have.

Madison Keys – Still looking for her first Grand Slam victory as well, Keys has all the makings to be a champion but has fallen short just one too many times. She’s made the semifinals in every Grand Slam outside of grass, she has a 71% win percentage overall throughout the four events. While she was absent from last year’s tournament and currently ranks #21, the +6600 odds are too good to pass up.

Amanda Anisimova – While a great up-and-coming star, nothing has shown us that Anisimova is someone to bet on to win the Aussie Open in 2025. She took a break from tennis in the summer of 2022 (due to burnout), and used her protected ranking throughout 2023 to remain in the top 40. While the +8000 odds could sway some, it would be better to look elsewhere.

Sofia Kenin – Remember when Sofia Kenin was about to be the face of tennis? In 2020, she won the Australian Open and then went to the finals of the French Open just months later. But injuries in 2022 sent her down a spiral, though she seems to be back in good form. Still, she hasn’t made it past the second round since her victory in Australia. While she isn’t likely to take down the giants, Kenin is a better bet than Anisimova based on past results.
