2022 Australian Open Betting Update

There is definitely no shortage of controversy in the first Grand Slam tennis tournament of the entire year and this has brought along plenty of opportunity for the savvy punter. There is a lot to like about the men’s tournament this time around and you can bank on a much bigger price on the betting favourite if things pan out off the court.

Novak Djokovic has had some trouble getting into Australia due to his vaccine status and is currently in limbo about whether he will be featuring in the tournament at all. 

With a number of top players rallying around the Serbian, who is currently ranked as the clear best player in the world, you can expect the Australian Tennis Federation to allow Djokovic to pursue this tournament where he has been favoured to win since well back into last year. 

As it currently stands, punters will find Novak Djokovic listed as high as a 15/8 margin to secure another Grand Slam title on a court where he has done it so many times before. On New Years’ Day last week he was listed as short as 13/10 and that price tag looks set to climb over the coming days. 

Expect Djokovic’s price to drop significantly once he is given clearance to actually play in the 2022 Australian Open - you probably won’t get a chance to back Djokovic at a price like this again any time soon. 

You can expect some stiff competition for him on the court with Daniil Medvedev listed at a best price of 21/10 while Alexander Zverev can be backed at a 19/5 listing. The odds then take a considerable jump to 12/1 for Rafa Nadal - who has been more inconsistent as of late. Stefanos Tsitipas is available around a 39/1 listing and might be your interesting outside option since you know that he can beat anyone of the other favourites on his day.
