A first grand slam is already here. In spite of the bushfire challenge, Australia is ready to host the Australian Open. As you may know, the Australian government is doing everything to handle bushfire. The country got help from the other countries’ leaders too.

As of now, more than 500 million USD was donated from around the world. It’s believed that local and international firefighters can localize and minimize the bushfire relief. At the same time, the government is trying to host every possible event and not abandon anything because of bushfire.

Every dollar is counted, and country officials decided to help businesses. That’s why the Australian Open was not delayed. It’s the first grand slam of the year, and 2020 would be a perfect start for the tennis world.

First day of the Australian Open

The current champion of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic, is ready to take over the world again. He wants to dominate every possible grand slam and win as many prizes as his health allows.

Novak will play on Monday evening, and tickets are already sold for the central court. Along with Novak Djokovic, legendary Swiss players will have first game. Roger Federer will play against Johnson. Roger’s competitor is from the US, so that he may have some big fan base in Australia. At the same time, we should not forget the fact that Roger has the biggest fan group during the matches.

Australian open 2019 winner in women’s single, Osaka will play first match on Monday evening. It would be a perfect opening match as competitor is 59th ranked in the world. Osaka is third in the world and wants to defend the championship in 2020. We will see her along with Serena Williams.

Legendary American tennis player will play a match on Monday. Keep in mind that, attention would also go to Caroline Wozniacki. Danish player will try to win the first match on Monday.

She has decided to retire from tennis after Australian Open. During the press-conference, Caroline noted that she wants to do something different on current Australian Open. It would be an exceptional tournament for her as it’s the last one.

Predictions for Australian Open 2020

If you genuinely believe in any players at the Australian Open, then you should bet on your luck. During the Australian Open, real money gambling becomes very popular among tennis fans. People have their strategies and thoughts about particular games. We can cover the chances of winners in men’s and women’s singles.

The current champion of Australian Open, Novak is ready for the tournament. He has no health or injury issues at all. During the press conference, the Serbian player said that he would do everything to defend the trophy.

The Serbian tennis star has the lowest odds of becoming the champion of the Australian Open. Novak is ranked 2nd in the world and would be the biggest competition for Rafael Nadal. Spanish player is believed to be a second-best at the tournament. Bookmakers believe that Rafael may be in good shape, but he has no better chance than Novak Djokovic.

The “Big Three” is ready for the tournament. Novak, Rafael, and Roger would love to dominate the courts of Melbourne, but there could be some issues. We should not forget young talents such as Daniil Medvedev and 21 years old Stefanos Tsitsipas. According to bookmakers’, Daniil has a higher chance to win the first grand slam of the year than Roger Federer.

Predictions on Women’s singles

If you want real money gambling on women’s singles, then you should understand the general thoughts on champions. First of all, you should understand what’s thinking the bookmakers and what the odds for the championship are.

The world’s number one ranked player, Barty, is the favorite along with the current champion of the Australian Open. Both players have the same odds and bookmakers believe that it would be interesting to see both perform. At the same time, Caroline Wozniacki could be the biggest surprise of the Australian Open as it’s her last tournament.

Rafael Nadal’s road to the final of the tournament goes on Nick Kyrgios

As the schedule announced, people were amazed at the fact that Rafael hypothetically has the chance to meet Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round. It would be an early semi-final type of match.

Journalists asked Rafael about this fact, and it seems that Rafa is ready for a competitor. At the same time, Rafael noted that everyone knows the quality and skills of Nick, and it would be a very tough match.
