Last year, Jannik Sinner continued his ascension with his second consecutive Australian Open title. As a result of that specific success at Melbourne Park, Sinner is the favorite to win a third straight Australian Open.
Unlike the women’s side, the men’s ledger has seen various periods of dominance at the Australian Open. Before Sinner’s two wins, Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open ten times from 2008 through 2023 with three-peats in 2011-2013 and 2019-2021. Roger Federer was sandwiched between Djokovic’s dynasty with wins in 2017 and 2018.
Djokovic, now 28, is the public’
s third choice to win the 2026 Australian Open. But the man who is considered the real threat to Sinner’s shot at a three-peat is Carlos Alcaraz, the top-ranked men’s player in the world.
Beyond Sinner, Alcaraz, and Djokovic, gamblers are not showing much enthusiasm for anyone else. Thus, that raises the question of a potential upset charge by one of the underdogs.
Djokovic is the King of the Australian Open with 10 career titles, the most of either the amateur or open era. Federer is next with six career wins.

2026 Australian Open Odds at Bookmaker
Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, is the venue for the 2026 Australian Open. The Tournament runs from January 18, 2026, through February 1, 2026, with television coverage on ESPN Networks.
Gamblers are looking at the obvious with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, but it is a defensible position. Bargain hunters are looking at Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic as possible alternatives. Djokovic is more of a relic of the past, while Zverev is a legitimate threat but has never won a Grand Slam. Meanwhile, Daniel Madvedev, the man who ruined Djokovic’s shot at a 2021 calendar year Grand Slam, is a compelling underdog.

Daniil Medvedev +3300
