The 2025 tennis season will kick off this week with the first grand slam tournament of the year. The Australian Open will begin on January 11th with the final scheduled for January 25th at Melbourne Park. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will enter the first major as the odds-on favorite to win the Aussie Open at +225 odds. Sabalenka has won each of the past two Australian Open titles and is fresh off of winning the U.S. Open, the final grand slam of the 2024 campaign.
Storylines To Watch For At The Women’s Australian Open
Here are some of the top storylines to watch for at the 2025 Women’s Australian Open:
- Can Sabalenka complete the three-peat for the women’s singles title?
- How will Iga Swiatek respond following her suspension for doping?
- Can Naomi Osaka continue her run of success after the ASB Classic?
- Will Coco Gauff continue to cement herself as one of the up-and-coming stars in women’s tennis?
2025 Women’s Australian Open Odds
The back-to-back Australian Open champion, Sabalenka will return to Melbourne Park to defend her crown for the third straight year.
For the first time ever, Sabalenka will enter a Grand Slam as the No. 1 seed but her path to a three-peat might be more complicated than ever. Though Sabalenka comes in with +225 odds, the best of any player in the tournament, she will have to get past some familiar rivals and new rising stars who are at the top of their game.
After 11 consecutive Grand Slams as the top seed, Iga Swiatek remains one of the top contenders in the women’s singles bracket. Swiatek enters Melbourne Park with the second-best odds to win the Australian Open at +350 despite never having won the tournament. She’s followed closely by Coco Gauff (+400), Elena Rybakina (+700), and Qinwen Zheng (+1000).
Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka (+1200) and Jessica Pegular (+1400) are among the top longshots to win the women’s singles title, along with Ons Jabeur (+3300), Jasmine Paolini (+3300) and Jelena Ostapenko (+3300).
Here are the 2025 Australian Open odds for the women’s singles bracket.
