As you have mentioned, Djokovic should be the clear favourite here.
But I wouldn't discount that he can be upset by the young tennis generations of today. They are slowly in the rise specially last year, and the big 3 or big 4 is already ageing, and I would say that Djokovic should be the last one amongst them that are going to stay. Federer's body is giving out, he will not participate in this tournament because he is still in recovery mode, while Murray is already declining very bad and will not be in the AO as well. While Nadal is on the struggle.

I see betting on the Australian Open or in tennis in general during the Corona period as very difficult. You never know how quickly a favorite can get Corona and then may have to give up or not be able to start. Because of this, the chance for outsiders has never been as good as this year. In the past few years I've bet on a winner before the tournament started, but this year it's just too risky for me. The odds also do not reflect the (extra) risk.
Just like the NBA, the players will stay in resorts etc with strict supervision and testing. So, the odds that someone contracts COVID-19 while being in the tourney is very less. Unless the players break rules, it should be okay.

I think that Djokovic has the biggest chances to win this.Last time he was eliminated because of an injury if I recall correctly and right now he is rated as the nr 1 tennis sportman in many rankings.I am not a big fan of tennis but it is the first time I hear Ash Barty.Probably has been a long time for me without watching tennis.
Qualifiers are done and now we wait for the main draw. Starting from 8th Feb (shifted due to the ongoing pandemic). With Novak Djokovic and Ash Barty top seeds(even though Kenin won the previous installment). Lets share all the news and top picks for the first slam of the year. My personal fav to win this year is Dkokovic and in WTA, Naomi Osaka.
Edit: Lord Tomic has qualified for the main draw. Another dark horse? O.o
Also, we are going to witness the first Egyptian female player to qualify for Australian Open main draw in Mayar Sherif.

Another very interesting case in these classifications is Fran Jones ...
in this sport, every muscle is very important, mainly of the arms and hands and she only has four fingers on each hand due to Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Clefting Syndrome (EEC).
The French Briton Jones shows a beautiful example of overcoming in this unprecedented classification, his is 20 years old.
I don’t follow this sport very much, so I’ll abstain from an opinion on favorites in this tournament… for now.

I really love to watch Women Singles especially when I watch my Favorite players like Olga Danilovic, Yue Yuan that recently lost to Chloe Paquet, Aleksandra Krunic that defeated by Mayar Sherif, and Kaya Juvan, and in the Men Single I am only well known to Novak Djokovic Would check all that players if they could make it.
