Women’s Australian Open Leading Contenders
Aryna Sabalanka (+180)
The world’s top ranked female player heads the betting to win the Australian Open title. The Belarusian has continued her dominance since returning to action, evident after easing past Madison Keys in straight sets in the recent Brisbane International.
Sabalanka is a 21-time winner on the WTA Tour, and has claimed victories in four majors. She has dominated at the Australian Open in recent years, winning two titles in 2023 and 2024, and reaching the final in 2025.
Iga Swiatek (+400)
Iga Swiatek shouldn’t be underestimated at the Australian Open this year. The Pole is a 25-time winner on the WTA Tour, and she has won six Grand Slam titles. She showed that there is more to her game than being a clay court specialist last season, winning a maiden Wimbledon title.
She typically plays well at the Australian Open, reaching the semi-final stage in two of the last four editions.
Coco Gauff (+700)
American superstar Coco Gauff should also have leading claims at the Australian Open. The eleven-time Tour winner has won two majors, and is continuing to progress.
She landed French Open glory in 2025, but underwhelmed at Wimbledon and the US Open. Unlike her two market leaders, she will have questions surrounding her ability on a hard court to answer at the Australian Open.
Women’s Australian Open Outright Winner Picks
Mirra Andreeva could be the star to come of age in 2026. The 18-year-old Russian has been a growing force on the WTA Tour in recent years, winning two WTA 1000 events. A hard court should suit her playing style, and she looks set to improve on her 75% win rate at the Australian Open.
