Can Ashleigh Barty Win Aussie Open Without Dropping A Set?

• Ashleigh Barty has +175 odds to win the Australian Open without dropping a set.
• She’s the overall -185 favorite to win the event as a whole.

MELBOURNE – Ashleigh Barty is looking dominant in her home event and now has odds to win without losing a single set in the tournament.

Ashleigh Barty’s Dominance

Barty has been cruising her way through the Australian Open. She opened the tournament with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Lesia Tsurenko, followed up with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Lucia Bronzetti, then beat Camila Giorgi 6-2, 6-3 before beating Amanda Anisimova 6-4, 6-3 and Jessica Pegula 6-2, 6-0.

Legal sports betting sites have Barty has a -455 favorite to get past Madison Keys in the semifinals and give her –160 odds to win in straight sets. Since she hasn’t dropped a set yet, she has odds to get through her final two matches without doing so.

As one could expect, Barty is the overall favorite to win the event, despite likely playing Iga Swiatek in the Finals.

As the No. 1 player in the world, she’s a tough player to bet against.

Can She Win In Straight Sets?

Even those who are confident in Barty’s ability to win the Australian Open may be a bit skeptical on whether or not she can continue to beat the world’s best players without losing a single set.

However, her numbers have been extremely impressive.

Barty has won an impressive 93% of her service games and 32.5% of her return games in 2022. Plus, assuming Swiatek advances to the finals, Barty shouldn’t feel too threatened. She’s faced Swiatek twice before, beating her in straight sets both times, including once in Australia already.

Truthfully, regardless of how things shake out the +175 odds may be a good bet to make for those betting on tennis. She’s faced Keys just once on the hard court and beat her in straight sets 6-4, 6-1 and in the event Danielle Collins upsets Swiatek, they have some experience as well. Barty is 3-1 all-time against Collins, but did lose the most recent meeting.
