Best Picks for the 2021 Australian Open Women’s Singles
We discuss the best prop bets for the 2021 Australian Open Women’s Singles in our latest Prop Drop episode. Check it out below.
Ashleigh Barty
Current Ranking: #1, 8,717 points
Career Singles Titles: 8
Australian Open Record: 13-7, 0 titles
2020 Australian Open Result: Semifinals
Barty followed up her career year in 2019 with a solid start to her 2020 season.
The WTA number 1 made it to her home slam’s semifinals for the first time, although her campaign ended with a loss to Petra Kvitova.
She will once again be playing for a chance to become the first Australian to capture a singles title in Melbourne since 1978.
Barty has made it to at least one final in the last three years during the Australian hard court season.
If that form continues in 2020, she has a very good chance of lifting the trophy at home.
Sofia Kenin
Current Ranking: #4, 4,590 points
Career Singles Titles: 5
Australian Open Record: 8-2, 1 title
2020 Australian Open Result: Champion
Betting on the defending champion is never a bad idea.
Kenin had an impressive run to her first major title, dropping only one set before the decider.
She then went on to defeat two-time major champion Garbine Muguruza after going down one set, thus becoming the youngest Australian Open champion since 2008.
Her road to the title included wins over fellow American rising star Coco Gauff and WTA number 1 Ashleigh Barty.
That being said, Kenin will have to work hard to defend her crown in 2021.
Serena Williams is the most recent player to successfully defend a slam title in women’s singles, a feat she achieved at Wimbledon in 2016.
Victoria Azarenka was the most recent player to achieve the feat at the Australian Open, winning back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.
Simona Halep
Current Ranking: #2, 2,076 points
Career Singles Titles: 20
Australian Open Record: 24-10, 0 titles
2020 Australian Open Result: Semifinals
Halep made it to the quarterfinals in four of the last seven Australian Open editions.
The former WTA number 1 reached the final in 2018 but was upset by Caroline Wozniacki.
She made it to the semifinals again in 2020 but suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of unseeded Garbine Muguruza.
Halep made it to a major semifinals at least once in five of the last six years, winning two titles in four final appearances.
One thing to keep an eye on is her injury history, as the Romanian dealt with a fair share of setbacks in the last two years.
