The 2023 Australian Open is the sport's first Grand Slam tournament of the year. Novak Djokovic is a favorite to win the tournament. Nick Kyrgios is hoping to repeat his success from 2022.

The quarter-final winner advances to the semi-finals. The winner is the player who wins the entire tournament.

Novak Djokovic is -360 to win his quarter at the Australian Open. He won the most titles on tour last season despite only playing in 14 tournaments. Djkovic refuses to get the COVID vaccine.

Nick Kyrgios is coming off the best year of his career, going 37-10. He has beaten Novak Djokovic twice on hard courts before. Kyrgs is +450 to win his quarter.

Daniil Medvedev is +110 to win his quarter. Rafael Nadal is -330 to beat Jack Draper in round one. Nadel has lost two straight matches. Frances Tiafoe knocked Nadals out of the US Open. Sebastian Korda is also playing great tennis and pushed Djokovic to two tiebreakers in his loss in Adelaide.

Taylor Fritz is +200 to win his quarter at the Australian Open. He beat Matteo Berrettini, Hubert Hurkacz, and Alexander Zverev in straight sets at last week's United Cup. Cameron Norrie is -600 to beat Jannik Sinner, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Iga Swiatek is a +225 bet to win the Australian Open. She had a dream 2022 season, posting a 67-9 record and winning eight WTA titles.

Aryna Sabalenka is 5th in the rankings and she won a title in Adelaide last year. She also made the U.S. Open semifinals and the WTA Finals after beating Swiatek in semifinals. Sabaenk is +200 to win her quarter.

Jessica Pegula beat Swiatek in the United Cup semi-finals. Pegul has made the quarter-final of the Australian Open each of last two years. Madison Keys is 5-0 to start the year and is a longshot to win her quarter. Keys would play Victoria Azarenka or Sofia Kenin in third round. She would then play Maria Sakkari in fourth round and play Pegular in quarterfinals, who is also a good bet.
