2024 Australian Open Odds, Picks & Predictions: Andrey Rublev

For the second time in the last three years, Novak Djokovic won three of the four majors in a calendar year, and he started that run of dominance at the Australian Open. Djokovic cashed for bettors who were willing to back him at short +110 pre-tournament odds, and his odds are short once again, considering he has won each of the previous four Australian Opens he has participated in (Djokovic was ineligible in 2022 after not being vaccinated against COVID-19).

The odds leaderboard was altered slightly after Rafael Nadal was thought to be ready to make his return to the first Grand Slam of the year after winning it in 2022, but he withdrew after suffering a hip injury and a small muscle tear in Brisbane and is focused on rest and rehabbing to be back in time for the French Open.

Stan Wawrinka is the only other men’s player in the field with an Australian Open title to his name, but that came back in 2014. Can anyone else win their maiden Australian Open title, or is Djokovic winning a record 11th a mere formality? Let’s take a look at our picks and predictions for Andrey Rublev.

2024 Australian Open Best Bets & Picks: Andrey Rublev

Prediction: Andrey Rublev is in the top 10 of the Australian Open odds leaderboard following an ATP victory in Hong Kong to start 2024. It was Rublev’s 15th career title, and he has shown his versatility with those 15 titles coming in 15 different cities. In addition, Rublev now has won 13 titles since 2020, tied for the second-most of any player on the ATP tour, and trails only Novak Djokovic’s 21. The Australian Open is one of three Grand Slams where Rublev has made multiple quarterfinal appearances, and his 70% winning percentage down under is his second-best at a major. He is still looking for his first-ever semifinal appearance at a Grand Slam, and should feel confident on the hard courts, as 10 of his 15 titles have come on that surface.

Betting Advice & Pick: In a quarter filled with Sinner, de Minaur, Korda, Tiafoe, and Khachanov, there are too many landmines for Rublev to avoid.
