2024 Australian Open Odds, Picks & Predictions: Aryna Sabalenka

On the Men’s side of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic looks for his record 11th title, which would also be a record 25th overall Grand Slam title and would break a tie with Margaret Court for the most major titles of any men’s or women’s player in tennis history. However, the Women’s Draw only has four players (Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, and Cori Gauff) with odds shorter than +1800, as there has long been parity since the dominant days of Serena Williams. To illustrate that point, 2023 was the sixth time in the last seven years that a different player won each of the Grand Slams held that year.

Six of the previous eight women to win the Australian Open were first-time winners, and four (Angelique Kerber, Caroline Wozniacki, Sofia Kenin, and Aryna Sabalenka) won their maiden Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open. The Women’s Draw received much more buzz and attention with the announcement that two-time winner and four-time major champion Naomi Osaka would make her return for the first time since 2022.  Will this be the year a previous winner takes home the season’s first Grand Slam, or will another up-and-coming player secure their maiden title? Let’s take a look at our picks and predictions for Aryna Sabalenka.

2024 Australian Open Best Bets & Picks: Aryna Sabalenka

Prediction: Aryna Sabalenka looks to become the first back-to-back Australian Open winner since Victoria Azarenka accomplished the feat in 2012 and 2013. There have been three back-to-back winners of the Australian Open this century, including Jennifer Capriati and Serena Williams. Sabalenka had gone 5-2 in her seven previous head-to-head meetings with World No. 3 Elena Rybakina before getting blitzed 0-6, 0-3 in the Brisbane final in the first tournament of 2024. It was not until the 11th game when Sabalenka finally held serve, ending Sabalenka’s 15-match winning streak on Australian soil.

Betting Advice & Pick: Sabalenka reached the semifinals or better in all four Grand Slams last year, so her -110 odds to win her quarter seem appropriate.
