Significant Australian Open Odds Movement Ahead Of Sunday’s Start

Australian Open futures odds for both men’s and women’s tournaments have seen lots of movement in the last month.
Aruna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner’s favored odds to win their respective tournaments got shorter since Dec. 1, 2024.
Notable men’s players like Daniil Medvedev (+1400) and Casper Rudd (+10000) saw their odds double ahead of Sunday’s draw.

MELBOURNE – Both men’s and women’s Australian Open futures odds for the top players have moved significantly since Dec. 1, 2024. Women’s odds for the first Grand Slam of the season favor Aryna Sabalenka at +225 odds, but she was formerly at +250 odds.

Women’s Australian Open Odds Movement

Player	Current Odds (Jan. 7, 2025)	Former Odds (Dec. 1, 2024)
Aryna Sabalenka	+225	+250
Coco Gauff	+400	+450
Iga Swiatek	+400	+350
Elena Rybakina	+700	+900
Qinwen Zheng	+1600	+1000
Jessica Pegula	+2000	+2500
Emma Navarro	+3000	+4000

The back-to-back defending champion has widened the gap on her opponents at legal tennis betting sites, as Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek trail at +400 odds. Sabalenka has beaten Swiatek in two of their last three head-to-head meetings on hard courts and beat Gauff in two of their last three meetings as well.

Qinwen Zheng is a notable mover that now has +1600 odds despite making the Australian Open final last year. The men’s Australian Open odds movement offers more extreme changes amongst the top ranked players in tennis.

Sinner Separates, Medvedev, Rudd Aussie Open Odds Double

World No. 1 ranked Jannik Sinner is separating himself from the pack in terms of betting odds ahead of Sunday’s start to the 2025 Australian Open. Sinner’s legal sports betting shortened from +200 to +150, while Carlos Alcaraz’s odds fell from +225 to +300 and Novak Djokovic’s odds dropped from +350 to +400.

However, the most surprising movement at the top of the odds board is Daniil Medvedev’s +750 odds nearly doubling to his current +1400 odds to win the Australian Open. Medvedev lost last year’s Australian Open final in five sets to Jannik Sinner after starting up 2-0.

Casper Rudd’s odds went from +5000 to +10000 despite being the sixth-ranked player in the world. He hasn’t advance past the round of 16 in his career at the Australian Open.
