Australian Open bookmakers install Djokovic as early favourite
Novak Djokovic is the favourite to win the 2025 Australian Open at most tennis betting sites, despite the Serbian failing to win a Grand Slam in 2024.
The year’s major tennis was instead dominated by young stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who won two Grand Slams each.
However, bookmaker Bovada puts Djokovic at +150 to claim his 25th major in Melbourne this January, with Sinner and Alcaraz at +250 apiece.
The former world No.1 has won a record 10 Australian Open titles, but he fell to eventual champion Sinner in the semi-finals this year.
Djokovic has had his worst season on the ATP Tour since 2005, with the 37-year-old’s only title in 2024 so far being an Olympic gold medal.
Before losing in the third round of the US Open, Djokovic had been clear that he still has the desire to compete for big titles.
“You know, people would ask me, now that you have basically won everything with the golden medal, what else is there to win?” Djokovic said in New York late last month.
“I still feel the drive. I still have the competitive spirit.
“I still want to make more history and enjoy myself on the tour.
“I still hope to inspire many young people to watch tennis, play tennis.
“Those are some of the reasons why I still keep on going.
“Grand Slams are the pillars of our sport. They are the most important historical tennis events that we have.”
Should Djokovic win the Australian Open in January, he would become the outright all-time leader in total Grand Slam titles across both male and females players.
Nadal still a chance with Australian Open bookies
Surprisingly, online bookmakers still have veteran Rafael Nadal as a chance at the title in the 2025 Australian Open as well.
Bovada has the Spaniard on the sixth line of betting at +1600 to win his 23rd major crown.
Nadal has only played a handful of matches on the ATP Tour this season, with a record of 12-7.
His participation in the 2025 Australian Open is not confirmed yet, as question marks hang over when he will retire.
Other contenders for next season’s first slam include Daniil Medvedev (+700), Alexander Zverev (+1200) and recent US Open semi-finalist Jack Draper (+3300).
The Australian Open is set to get underway on January 12 at Melbourne Park.
