2021 Australian Open Betting Preview PT 2

Daniil Medvedev comes into the tournament as a significant contender as well and you can back him right now at a best price of around 7/1. This might be an interesting opportunity to back him on the each-way to make the final and that typically pays out at ½ of the price.

Roger Federer is expected to skip this tournament and so there are only one or two bookmakers even offering a price on the Swiss master. Right now, they trade around 7/1 but it’s unlikely that he will be playing in this tournament. 

In contrast with the men’s tournament - the 2021 Women’s Australian Open betting markets are absolutely wide open. Right now, the bookmakers favour Ashley Barti with a price of around 9/1 to lift the trophy at the end of the tournament. You’ll also find Naomi Osaka available at the exact same price and she could wind up going all the way in this one so you can expect her price to drop quickly as she progresses through the tournament. 

Bianca Andreescu is the third favourite and she’s trading around a 10/1 price tag with several top bookmakers. Simona Halep can be backed around a price of 11/1 and few would be surprised to see her make the final. 

Serena Williams usually doesn’t trade at a 16/1 price to win a Grand Slam tournament but that’s what she’s listed at now so you can expect that to be a popular selection for those looking for extra value.
