Get my best bet for the Australian Open final below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Full betting markets for the Australian Open final<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australian Open men&#8217;s final pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Alcaraz over 20.5 games (-118)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think Alcaraz will win this match, but not without a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The odds indicate that, too, as Djokovic carries -225 odds to win at least one set. With that opinion, I think this is by far the best way to back Alcaraz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Alcaraz wins in four sets, with no tiebreakers, he would just need to pick up three games in the set he loses. If there is a tiebreaker in one of the sets that Alcaraz wins, he could even afford dropping a set 6-2 to Djokovic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let me explain why Alcaraz should win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spaniard was on a warpath leading up to his semifinal against Zverev, winning each match without dropping a set. He had a 2-0 lead on the German before eventually winning a 6-4, 7-5, 6-7, 6-7, 7-5 war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODI4JnA9MzEwNjY%3D\">Place your bets on Alcaraz vs. Djokovic now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcaraz has now won 13 straight matches on hard court at Grand Slams dating back to last year&#8217;s Australian Open, when he lost to &#8230; Djokovic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spaniard got revenge against Djokovic at the 2025 U.S. Open semifinal later that year. These two have combined for some spirited battles, and I don&#8217;t want to discount the 24-time Grand Slam winner amid his stellar play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Djokovic will throw everything he has at Alcaraz. I see the young gun winning in four or five competitive sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Alcaraz has gone over this line in five of his six Grand Slam victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Alcaraz vs. Djokovic predictions made at 12 p.m. on Jan. 30, 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODI4JnA9MzEwNjY%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic lock horns for an epic Australian Open finale on Sunday.
