    2018 Australian Open Betting Lines Picks

    2018 Australian Open Betting Lines Picks

    It’s no surprise that the man who has won this event in 2009 and who is the world’s number 1 ranked player (Nadal) is also ranked most likely to win The Australian Open. A bit more surprising, the man who has won this event 5 times (Federer), including last year, and who is the second-ranked player in the world is ranked 7th most likely.

    Let’s take a look at how oddsmakers see things:

     

    What a remarkable second act we’re seeing to this man’s career. A few months ago, he became the oldest man (31) to finish the year ranked number 1 in the world. He also was the first person over the age of 30 to finish the year in top spot. So, take that, young whipper snippers.

    2017 saw him win his record 10th French Open in dominant fashion, winning every set that he played in the entire tournament. He only lost 35 games over his seven matches. He's coming into this tournament healthy, focused and full of confidence. 

     

    Even though he’s “rebuilding,” you cannot count this man out. He’s won this event 6 times, including back-to-back 2015/2016 titles. But that seems like a lifetime ago.

    Since then, Djokovic has been on long hiatus with injury troubles that threatened to cut this hall-of-fame worthy career short. He’s been hampered by elbow problems and went ahead and fired his training team. But the good news? He’s now being trained by none other than Andre Agassi; a man who knows a little something about winning after being knocked down.

     

    The most celebrated bridesmaid in this event’s long history. Murray has been runner-up at this event 5 painful times. He’s lost in the finals to Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in various years. 

    Some of his critics are saying the 30-year-old’s major title winning days are behind him. The man DID just literally have hip surgery earlier in January of this year. So it’s a bit surprising he’s being given this good of a shot, in the eyes of oddsmakers.

     

    I don’t get it. I don’t see how this man is such a longshot to win. I’m betting Federer all night with these odds. In case everyone was hit with one of those memory-wipe-flashy-things from Men in Black, allow me to introduce you to the world’s 2# ranked player. He won two majors last year, including this tournament and another small regional one called Wimbledon. He’s also already won in 2018, with a win at the Hopman Cup with Belinda Bencic.

    Not going too far back, he also captured his third Shanghai Masters title of the season, defeating world No. 1, Rafael Nadal in the final. And it’s worth noting that that was Federer's 5th straight victory over Nadal… again, who is currently ranked number 1 in the world, and you can see him way, way up in this article. Damned odd.

    Bet Federer. Thank me later. If you’re not sure how to bet on tennis online, we’re here to help!
