2024 Australian Open Odds, Picks & Predictions: Stefanos Tsitsipas

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 Stefanos Tsitsipas.

2024 Australian Open Best Bets & Picks: Stefanos Tsitsipas

Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas went 51-24 last year, with the highlights of his 2023 campaign being a win at Los Cabos, and reaching the final at Barcelona and the Australian Open. However, his season was cut short last year due to lingering back issues that forced him to retire from the ATP Finals. The Greek also struggled with a shoulder injury in the first part of the season, and did not have the consistently deep runs at tournaments that helped him escalate at one point to a career-best No. 3 in the rankings, and his results in each of the four majors last year got progressively worse. When Tsitsipas reached the quarterfinals of the United Cup, he had a combined record of 29-9 against the other five who remained (Alex De Minaur, Alexander Zverev, Hubert Hurkacz, Adrian Mannarino, and Casper Ruud), which suggests he is capable of a Grand Slam title breakthrough if fully healthy.

Betting Advice & Pick: Tsitsipas has the same +1000 odds to win his quarter at Ben Shelton, and his injury concerns have us backing an early-round upset rather than a deep run.
