We look at the odds for the 2025 Australian Open after Jannik Sinner was crowned a Grand Slam champion for the very first time.
Trailing by two sets in the final, Sinner staged an astonishing comeback to defeat Daniil Medvedev and win the 2024 Australian Open.
It capped a remarkable run in which Sinner defeated 10-time winner Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals, with the Serbian unable to forge a single break point against Sinner's serve.
With one Grand Slam title under his belt, more are expected to follow for the Italian and Sinner is 3/1 to retain his crown in Melbourne next year.

Novak Djokovic was unable to add a record-extending 11th Australian Open title in 2024, bowing out in the semi-final stage with an uncharacteristically disappointing performance against the eventual champion Sinner.
In spite of that, the 24-time Grand Slam champion boasts an exemplary record in Melbourne, winning 94 of his 103 matches at the venue and Djokovic is the favourite again in 2025.
With the Calendar Slam out of the question in 2024, time is running out for Djokovic to become the first male since Rod Laver to win all four majors in a single year.
Carlos Alcaraz endured a disappointing 2024 Australian Open as his run was halted at the quarter-final stage by Alexander Zverev.
Alcaraz had no answer to Zverev's immense serve and having fought from 5-2 down in the third to force a fourth set, the Spaniard was unable to make his momentum count and Zverev came out on top.
It was the first time Alcaraz had failed to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam since Wimbledon 2022 and he is expected to bounce back, with only the Australian Open and French Open evading his major haul.
Jannik Sinner has been showing huge potential over the past couple of years and it finally bore fruit as he claimed a maiden Grand Slam title.
The talented Italian went past the quarter-final stage of a Grand Slam for the first time at Wimbledon last year and having beaten Djokovic in the semi-final, he produced a sensational comeback to topple Daniil Medvedev and win the 2024 Australian Open.
At just 22 years of age, there is scope for many more Grand Slam titles in the future.
After back-to-back final losses in 2021 and 2022, Daniil Medvedev was on track to right the wrongs of his past when he raced into a two-set lead against Sinner in the 2024 decider.
And yet Medvedev only suffered more heartache after Sinner won the third set, turned the match in his favour and claimed his first Grand Slam triumph.
It was a fifth defeat in six major finals for Medvedev and the cruel nature of his loss may serve as a catalyst for future success, with the 27-year-old a persistent threat on hard court surfaces.
The 2024 Australian Open was set to welcome Rafael Nadal back to Grand Slam action after missing the three previous majors, only for a muscle tear in his hip to prevent his participation.
In the twilight years of his career, two decades of performing at the pinnacle of tennis have taken their toll on Nadal's body and the 22-time Grand Slam champion is desperately trying to preserve himself for future events.
He was written off before and returned win the Australian Open and French Open in 2022; you would be daft to dismiss the Spaniard if he is fit enough to compete.
