When looking to bet on the Australian Open, the only fair place to begin analysis is with Novak Djokovic.
Much like the French Open has been ruled by Rafael Nadal for the better part of two decades, the same is true for Djokovic on the blue courts in Melbourne.
Djokovic has won this event seven times in the last ten years and has a career record of 75-8. He heads into this event playing great tennis, with recent wins over Denis Shapovalov (+5000) and Alexander Zverev (+1600) in the ATP Cup singles competition.
An unfeasible return, a brilliant backhand from way deep...

While other players will do their best to combat the legend in his most comfortable setting, Djokovic remains the best bet for obvious reasons.
Those looking to spread out their money however have many decent options to work with.
Fellow superstar Rafael Nadal is available in the +700 range, and needless to say, can still win any tournament at the age of 34.
While the Aussie Open is a Grand Slam Nadal has only captured once in his career (2009), he could be fueled by the motivation to overcome one of his greatest challenges.
Russian Daniil Medvedev (+375) is the second-lowest odds on the board, and has been in terrific form heading into the tournament. After winning the ATP Finals tournament, Medvedev carries his 15-match winning streak into the second round of the tournament.
Further down the board, names like Stefanos Tsitsipas (+2000), Andrey Rublev (+2200), and Denis Shapovalov (+5000) all have the potential to make big moves in this tournament and are great plays for prop bets to reach the final rounds.
However, bettors who leave Djokovic off their betslip should be extremely warned of the dominance the Serbian has shown in this competition.
