Who will win the Australian Open in 2026?

BEST BET (AUSTRALIAN OPEN CHAMPION MEN’S)

Novak is once again making his mark in the Australian Open, clearly dominating the competition, and with odds reflecting his current form. In comparison to recent years, however, the gap between Novak’s odds and his competitors are diminishing, indicating that the competition is beginning to either catch up to him or he may even be slowing down, while he is the favourite to take home the title, Carlos Alvarez and Jannik Sinner are also closely matched to his skill.

BEST BET (AUSTRALIAN OPEN CHAMPION WOMEN’S)

After a tumultuous period in her career, Aryna Sabalenka capped 2024 as the World No. 1, cementing her status among tennis greats. The Belarusian powerhouse overcame personal tragedy, injuries, and setbacks to claim two Grand Slam titles, including a dramatic US Open victory. Heading into 2026, the two-time Australian Open champion is determined to inspire others with her resilience and relentless drive, turning challenges into triumphs as she continues to dominate the sport.

Aryna Sabalenka is, without a doubt, our best bet for taking home the title in this year’s Australian Open tournament.
