We are close to the first major of the year. With the tournament due to be wrapped up come the end of February, we thought we’d have a look at some of the favourites to lift the first Major of the year.
Going into the tournament as a big favourite is Novak Djokovic who is the clear favourite priced at 5/4. The Serbian has claimed this major as his major to lose during his career having won the title 8 times. Djokovic has the most AO titles in history and will be fancying himself to make it three times in a row and would be a logical pick if you’re having a punt on the event.
Although, it might not be as easy as the bookies are saying. There are plenty of players in good form coming into this tournament including Daniel Medvedev who is currently priced at 9/2. Medvedev played some fantastic tennis during 2020 and has proved that he can beat anyone on his day as he won the ATP 2020 finals last year and could be a player to watch down under.
The player that he beat at the ATP Finals 2020, Dominic Thiem will also be looking to add to his trophy collection after an impressive 2020 where he picked up his first major win at the US Open and will be wanting to avenge his loss again Medvedev. He is also priced at 9/2 and will want to get his season off to a flying start.
Whilst we wait for the Australian Open to kick off, many tennis punters have been migrating to thebestcasinos.co.uk to entertain themselves without the use of live sport. These particular casinos have a great variety of high-quality casino games alongside sign up bonuses for all new customers signing up now.
And finally, you cannot write off Rafa Nadal as he certainly isn’t out of the running when it comes to the Australian Open this February even if he has tasted success at this tournament since 2009. Rafa is looking to win his 21st career grand slam win which will make him the most successful tennis player of all time.
