Men's Australian Open pick and prediction (How to bet Nadal and Djokovic)

The Australian Open tennis championship starts today. Novak Djokovic returns to the tournament he won nine times. He was denied entry last year because he wasn't vaccinated. Australia eased its COVID restrictions.

Djokovic is a resounding favorite to win his 22nd major and tie Nadal for the most in men's tennis history.

Djokovic is the favorite to win the Australian Open. He has won the Adelaide International and ATP World Tour Finals recently. Nadal is also the favourite.   He is ranked second in the world.

Rafal Nadal is the No. 1 seed at the Australian Open. He lost two of three matches at ATP World Tour Finals and at Wimbledon. Nadel has been injured and has not played well recently. The last time Nadals played on tour was at U.S. Open, where he was upset by Frances Tiafoe.
