2024 Australian Open Odds, Picks & Predictions: Qinwen Zheng

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 Qinwen Zheng.

2024 Australian Open Best Bets & Picks: Qinwen Zheng

Prediction: Qinwen Zheng is the least accomplished player within the top nine of the women’s odds leaderboard at the Australian Open, and is just 2-2 in four career Australian Open matches entering this year. Zheng has played in eight Grand Slams, and her career-best finish is a quarterfinal appearance at last year’s US Open. Zheng won the first two games of the first set of her United Cup match against Iga Swiatek, but Swiatek stormed back to win the set 6-2 and the second set 6-3.

Betting Advice & Pick: Zheng did not have a top-10 win until defeating Ons Jabeur by retirement in the second round of last year’s Canadian Open, so we would more expect a second or third-round loss instead of a deep run.
