Australian Open 2018 odds (from Ladbrokes)

[MugOpponent]

I'm really happy I got Kyrgios at 25/1.

The odds don't make me very optimistic for Rafa but we'll see.

Someone gave a great explanation about Djokovic's odds. Perhaps some of the nextgen players have a better shot to semi-final, but if Novak is there then his chances of actually lifting the trophy are much higher than their's.

The odds for Djokovic are stupid. He's a World Number 14 player so in no way shape or form should have the 3rd highest odds to win.

You know nothing, Jon Snow. Now run off to you Aunt.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Raonic at 33/1 might be worth losing a cheeky fiver to.

Raonic could be one trillion to one and nobody betting on him will win one cent (one Euro, one farthing, one Rubel, one Peso, etc. )

 

[helterskelter]

Except, of course, Djokovic had sucked for a long time before the injury too, while Federer was cruising to a Wimbledon title before the injury.

Prior to 2017, Federer last cruised to a Wimbledon title in 2006. Was he injured for 11 years?

I'm using the same bookmaker for all players rather than the best odds you can get on any one player, because this isn't about who to put money on. Anyway, here they are:

Men's singles:
1. Roger Federer: 7/4
2. Rafael Nadal: 5/1
3. Novak Djokovic: 11/2
4. Alex Zverev: 10/1
4. Grigor Dimitrov: 10/1
6. Juan Martin Del Potro: 14/1
6. Nick Kyrgios: 14/1
8. David Goffin: 16/1
9. Dominic Thiem: 28/1
9. Stan Wawrinka: 28/1
11. Marin Cilic: 33/1
11. Milos Raonic: 33/1
13. Kevin Anderson: 40/1
14. Gael Monfils: 50/1
14. Jack Sock: 50/1
16. Denis Shapovalov: 66/1
17. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga: 80/1
18. Gilles Simon: 100/1
18. Roberto Bautista-Agut: 100/1
18. Lucas Pouille: 100/1

Women's singles:
1. Garbine Muguruza: 8/1
1. Simona Halep: 8/1
1. Karolina Pliskova: 8/1
4. Elina Svitolina: 9/1
5. Caroline Wozniacki: 11/1
6. Angelique Kerber: 12/1
6. Maria Sharapova: 12/1
8. Julia Goerges: 14/1
9. Petra Kvitova: 18/1
10. Johanna Konta: 20/1
10. Madison Keys: 20/1
12. Ashleigh Barty: 25/1
12. Venus Williams: 25/1
12. Coco Vandeweghe: 25/1
15. Caroline Garcia: 28/1
16. Belinda Bencic: 33/1
16. Jelena Ostapenko: 33/1
18. Dominika Cibulkova: 40/1
18. Kaia Kanepi: 40/1
20. Sloane Stephens: 50/1
20. Anastasija Sevastova: 50/1

I'll confine myself to two comments:
1. Both fields are really open.
2. But the women's odds essentially amount to saying, "Hell if we know who's got this?"

Where’s Carreño Busta?

 

[Meles]

that surprises me, thought you'd fancy a sneaky couple of quid on one of your favourites

Good luck in your betting, if you need help ask @Meles

I’d bet Kyrgios, Goffin, or Thiem, but only once draw out. Thiem would have to have great draw. Nole’s Odds are ridiculous. I’d hedge that if possible.

 

[chjtennis]

Kyrgios seems good odds at 14/1 if you are a gambler. Not a safe bet by any stretch though.

 

[Pheasant]

Dimitrov at 10/1, followed by Nadal at 5/1 are the two best bets for the money.

 

[Jon Snow]

You know nothing, Jon Snow. Now run off to you Aunt.

shut the hell up.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Dimitrov at 10/1, followed by Nadal at 5/1 are the two best bets for the money.

Agree. By far the best bets before seeing the draw.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Jepp, knowing the draw these players the ones to look out for.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Djokovic is a bit high for me simply because he is an unknown factor. At the moment I have it:

1. Federer
2. Grigor/Delpo/Kyrgios/Nadal
3. Zverev
4. Djoker

 

[augustobt]

This odd on Djokovic looks too good. Depending on the draw he can make the Final easily. I might throw something at him. Rog at 1.75 it's too risky.

 

[clout]

He's also a 6-time winner and so will be viewed favourably in the market, and deservedly so.

100% agreed. Nole is the greatest AO player ever so he'll always be the favourite or at least among the top there. Like for example, Nadal could be the lucky loser and would still be the fav at RG.

 

[clout]

IMO if the big four are all decently healthy, they'll be favoured over all these younger players since they're simply much better players. Tennis is 100% muscle memory for these guys.
