Jannik Sinner is the 2024 Australian Open defending champion in this year’s tournament. Challenging his title is Novak Djokovic, one of the best tennis players of all time. For the women’s, Aryna Sabalenka is the 2024 Australian Open champion, anticipating strong competition from tournament favourite, Iga Swaitek. 

Doubles format and tournament favourites

The doubles side of the tournaments comprises 64 teams each for men and women. All teams compete in a single-elimination series where all matches are Bo3 and the series lasts 6 rounds between the first round to the finals. 

Favourites of the men’s doubles of the Australian Open 2025 are the Italian duo, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori who are set to improve on last year’s runner-up finish. For the women’s doubles, Su-wei Hsieh and Jelena Ostapenko are the top contenders for the 2025 title.

Mixed doubles format and tournament favourites

Just like the other tournaments, the mixed doubles series follows a single-elimination knockout format where all matches are Bo3 sets. A total of 32 teams will compete across 5 rounds. 

It is harder to define whom in the mixed doubles are the favourites because many wildcard pairs are participating. Most bettors, however, believe that the duo of Erin Routliffe and Michael Venus is the safest bet for the competition.

Other considerable teams for betting in the mixed doubles are Henry Pattern and Olivia Nicholls. The pair is the underdog in a head-to-head with the other teams but not by a big margin. Their feats and resilience in the competition show that they can be title contenders, too. 

Types of bets for Australian Open 2025

The intense back-and-forth action on the court radiates when you bet on Australian Open matches with real money stakes. Don’t miss a chance to make the following types of wagers in one of the most important annual titles in tennis:

• In-play: Bets in this category revolve around specific scenarios in an ongoing match. This includes the winner of that game, a round, or propositional situations. Betting on scores is also included in this type of bet and you may call them live before the game reaches the point when that scenario is concluded. 
• Future: With future betting, you can make predictions on outcomes that are set to take place later in the tournament. These wagers are placed ahead of time and they often come with lower odds. On the flip side, it opens opportunities for adjusting or hedging bets when needed.

Australia Open 2025 betting markets

When it comes to Australian Open betting predictions there are numerous markets you can explore. Here are some of the key betting markets available:

• Match winner: Place a bet on which player you think will win the match. A match winner is decided by who wins the majority of the prescribed number of sets. For the Australian Open, most matches are Bo3 except for men’s singles which are predominantly Bo5. 
• Total sets: Bet on either over or under based on how many sets you think will take place in a match relative to the bookmaker’s set number. For example, if a Bo3 match betting has over/under bets for 2.5, bets on under win if the match ends with a 2-0 sweep. 
• Set Winner: A Bo3 match can end with 2 or 3 sets if the scores are 2-0 or 2-1 respectively. Meanwhile, there can be a total of 3, 4, or 5 total sets in a Bo5 match. You may bet on the winner for each one, giving you plenty of winner betting opportunities.
• Handicap: This provides a twist on traditional match wagering by giving one player a hypothetical point advantage or disadvantage. If a player has a -1.5 handicap, they must end the match with a 2-0 sweep to be considered a win. However, the player or team with +1.5 handicap wins the match as soon as they win a set, even if it’s 1-0 or 1-1. 
• Stage Elimination: This is an outright bet available in the early stages of the Australian Open betting. You may wager on a player and win if they get eliminated at a certain round of the tournament. 
• Head-to-head - Who will go the farthest: This market pits two or more tennis players against each other and you can bet on any of them. You win if the other options are eliminated from the Australian Open. 

The Australian Open tennis odds for all betting markets above depend on several factors. That includes public opinion or pundits’ insights on every tennis player’s capabilities compared to each other. Gamdom also showcases dynamic odds adapting to present-day activities among bettors. Thus, you will often see fluctuating odds, especially on in-play betting.

Bet against the title defender of the competition

Betting against the defending champion in the finals can be risky, but the potential returns are high. This strategy is popular because historically, winning consecutive titles has proven difficult.
