I actually really like them odds for Stefanos Tsitsipas. On the local news here in Australia they spoke with Stefanos Tsitsipas and he said that he feels ready to go even though it was tough in quarantine. I like the way he was confident about this years AO which is why I might put $20 on him to see how he goes. We all know that he does have a good record at the AO and this could be his year.
Given how the preparation for the tournament went, I think no one will be surprised at any outcome and both the favorites of the first row can win, and other tennis players can also shoot. Although I would not be surprised that the special conditions of quarantine in Adelaide will play in favor of those who were there and someone from the three consisting of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Dominic Thiem will take the first super title of the season.

Anyone looking at the odds now?
My boy Stefanos Tsitsipas seems to be very attractive odds, so I might throw some just for fun. LOL.
What do you think of the odds though? Better to get your bets early to enjoy some juicy odds. Even Djokovic @2.2 is very good odds for a favorite.

It is beginning of the season and there will be surprises. We have to see what kind of form players will bring to the court. In situation like this I will not bet on outright winner but if I were I would take a shot on some underdog.

Let's say Rublev, if the court is fast and it should be in Australia and he is in his form he can take it for sure. Not saying that he will but odds above 20 have value for me. While betting on Djoko at odds a little over 2 does not make any sense. Any of the big hitters and there is a lot of them in this tournament can take him out on a good day.

Latest news from Australia:
''Six tennis tournaments played simultaneously at one venue during a pandemic - that is the feat Melbourne Park is aiming to pull off next week.''
After all the problems due to positive players on coronavirus, quarantine and all other controversies, players will finally get a chance to get out of their hotel rooms and compete in various tournaments.
It seems that the most interesting competition will be the ATP cap where Djokovic will lead Serbia, and all other tennis players such as Nadal, Thiem, Medvedev will also perform for their countries.

Sad news, I like watching Murray but after all his injuries, he didn't get back to the top level that he had before. In my eyes, he should call it a day and retire. He had a nice career winning 3 grand slams and winning 2 times Olympic gold.
Lets hope that Federer, when he comes back out of injury, can reach his old form and win another Grand Slam.
Yeah, Murray would love to try again, given that just in his career, just missing the title at the Australia Open, but there were 5 lost finals. Former Murray we are unlikely to be able to see. In general, I was very surprised when I heard that Andy returned and continued to play, given all his health problems and what technical things the doctors did to treat his spine. Lets hope that Federer, when he comes back out of injury, can reach his old form and win another Grand Slam.
It seems that good news for AO has finally come

It seems that the situation is returning to normal and that the tournament will still be held as planned, which is great news for all tennis fans.
I still can't believe that the fans will be allowed to enter as well
This is a really nice surprise and restores hope for a better tomorrow and the return of fans to other sports as well.

Yes its looking great right now so lets hope this continues because a positive test could changed everything very quickly so lets hope no one tests positive during the tournament. Its good that they are allowing some fans in to watch the games as sport just isn't the same without the fans. Not long to wait now, just a little over a week, I can't wait as the AO is my favourite grand slam.
Unfortunately it has now become official, Andy Murray will not be performing at AO this year; ''Five-time finalist Andy Murray will miss the Australian Open after a solution to find a "workable quarantine" following his positive test for coronavirus could not be found.''
Was this his last chance to perform at AO?
A great player and great talent but too many injuries and accidents unfortunately.

Yes its sad to see he couldnt get a solution to a quarantine from his positive COVID-19 test.
This is more of the consequences this pandemic is creating.
Maybe we will see Andy back playing Doubles at AO next year? After all he did win Queens
in 2019 with Feliciano Lopez, there are still opportunities surely?

The players are now allowed out of quarantine so they have just over 1 week to practice and get ready for the AO. I like the idea of the exhibition matches in Adelaide as it will help get the players some match practice ahead of the AO. Now we just hope that no player or officials test positive to the virus because it could impact the AO start date.
Yes, at least with this kind of exhibition match, players can go out and practice interact amongst themselves to get the boredom because of the quarantine. Maybe this is also to gauge the safety protocol they've implement, if the exhibitions turns out to be successful (with no players and officials being positive to the corona virus), then it could also be smooth for the real tournament. Just a couple more days before the AO begin, I'm sure tennis fans are excited.

Well Serena Williams has come out and said that she backs Australia's quarantine rules and Nadal has also come out and said that the players are privileged to be able to compete at the Australian Open. Its good to see some support from the top players on the strict quarantine rules as it is helping to protect the tournament and the public.
All the players should be very grateful that, despite the Corona pandemic, they still we be able to participate in grand slams and earn good money. Almost all amateur sports are not allowed anymore in Belgium... Good to see that big names as Nadal and S.Williams come out and back the strict rules around quarantaine.
^^ That's good though, and maybe those who are complaining or bitching around is those who really don't understand the extend of the situation and instead going to social media to voice their frustration. And now they made a U-turn statement and the good thing is that the organizers are talking it positively.
And now we have this one: World's top tennis players to participate in exhibition matches in Adelaide ahead of Australian Open.

So it seems a go and no further reschedule are going to happen, kudos to Tiley, who are working hard to let this year's AO to be run despite the Covid-9 restriction. And for players, they need to really cooperate and regardless if you are the top 10 in both men and women, there should be no biased or favoritism.

Craig Tiley, the tournament director, has publicly insisted the event will not be delayed further, despite the current challenges for many of the players, and he rejected other modifications, including the suggestion of men's players playing best-of-three sets as opposed to the normal five.
..
Some players have publicly expressed their frustrations to the current situation, including Alize Cornet and Roberto Bautista Agut, who are both in the "hard quarantine" protocol. Novak Djokovic, the World No. 1, provided a list of suggestions to Tiley to help the impacted players. All were met with heavy disapproval by the Australian public, which criticized the players' lack of awareness to the larger societal issue in relation to the virus, and the three players have since issued apologies.

The authorities in Australia are very strict about protection and should be congratulated on that.
Thanks to this, and in very difficult circumstances due to Covid, the tournament will still be held which is great news for all fans and tennis players.
For tennis players it's difficult to be locked in a hotel room but they also realize now that this is the only way to hold the tournament at all.
I can't wait to see the start of the tournament and whether Djokovic will get even closer to Federer and Nadal by the number of GS wins
Australia has been and continues to be one of the strictest countries in the world when it comes to covid-19. I think now the players are understanding this as like you said its the only way that this tournament can go on. There is still debate about fans being able to attend the games and I think as we get closer to the start of the AO we'll get a better understanding on the fans allowed to attend games, of course if they do, the numbers will be low.
Yes, tennis players needs to realized that the organizers is doing this for them, they could be feel frustrated, but this is the new norm and they have to understand that. Australia is very strict because they know that one mistake will really derail everything for them, not just tennis, but all other sports schedule on the country. So it make sense that the strict protocols they have laid down will be fair across all athletes. As far the fans in attendance, I reckon it will be reduce maybe 10k, give and take.
