Sinner: Australian Open 2026 Winner – Predictions & Quotes

We are now there: even if a couple of preparatory tournaments have already been played, the great tennis season will officially start with the Australian Open in Melbourne where the first round matches are already scheduled for Sunday 18 January. The favourites, obviously, are our Jannik and Alcaraz (seeded number 1): so let’s find out the odds for Sinner winning the Australian Open which will end on Sunday 1 February.

QUOTE SINNER VINCENTE AUSTRALIAN OPEN

—

Jannik is ready to launch his double challenge, one immediate (the success in Melbourne) and the second in the spring (winning first place in the ranking) and the “enemy” to beat is always Carlos Alcaraz. The two are returning from the performance in Seoul, Korea, where the Spaniard had won in two sets a match made up of surprise shots and spontaneous smiles. No technical or tactical indications from that match in anticipation of a season where the two will compete for the four Slam tournaments. Last year they won two each: Sinner first in Australia and at Wimbledon, Alcaraz in Paris and New York.

According to the bookies of the main betting sites, despite starting as the number two seed, the Italian tennis player is the big favorite to win in Melbourne: his success is on the board at 1.80 on Eurobet, at 1.85 on Goldbet and Better Lottomatica and at 1.87 on Planetwin365. Precisely on this event Goldbet, Better Lottomatica and Planetwin365 offer the increased odds on the indicated outcome which rises to 8.00 only for new members.

THE TRIS LIKE DJOKOVIC

—

Only the Serbian, and twice, has won three consecutive editions of the Australian Open: it happened from 2011 to 2013 and then from 2019 to 2021. Sinner will try to equal this prestigious record by starting his climb to first place in the rankings. Last season ended with Alcaraz in first place with 12,050 points and Jannik behind him with 11,550: but while the South Tyrolean will have to defend the 2000 points of the 2025 victory, the Spaniard will only lose 400 because he had stopped much earlier in Melbourne.

CARLOS FOR THE FIRST SUCCESS

—

Among other things, for Carlos the Australian Open is a nightmare since he has never won it and has never even reached the final. His adventure will start against Walton and then continue on the side of the board where Zverev, Medvedev and Auger-Aliassime are also placed. Sinner, however, will start in the first round facing the Belgian Gaston and then could also find his friend Musetti and Djokoovic on his path. For bookies, the Spaniard’s success is worth odds of 2.65 on Betflag, 2.62 on Bet365, 2.50 on William Hill and Starcasinò.
