The first Grand Slam tournament of 2023 was spectacular! Novak Djokovic renewed his Australian Open record with a 10th win and again equaled Rafael Nadal’s record of 22 Grand Slam wins. Thanks to that, he is back on top of the ATP rating. The women’s №1, Iga Swiatek, was defeated early by Elena Rybakina, who confidently made it to the final. Aryna Sabalenka won this dramatic match and got her first-ever Grand Slam singles title. Many surprises also happened, some of which helped Coinplay users win great money!
Let’s look at the infographics to see their betting statistics and the craziest winnings.
Men’s Singles
Who guessed the champion?
Novak Djokovic was an undeniable favorite, with pre-tournament odds of 1.83. Even though he proved his supremacy with a solid win, these small odds were not so attractive for betting. Therefore, many players risked and picked Nadal or Medvedev – and unfortunately, both lost in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Here are the statistics:
The Biggest Amounts Won
No surprise that the luckiest bets were on favorites defeats. The odds of Nadal’s loss were equal to 7 in pre-match – and the McDonald’s win brought $10,500 to a Coinplay user! Another huge win happened in live when Rublev lost to Rune 2:5 in the fifth set. Odds 8.8 at this moment brought exactly $8800 to the one who believed in Rublev’s win. And the third biggest winning was equal to $6435 – when the player placed a bet on sets total under 3.5 in the Tsitsipas – Lehecka quarterfinal. The main underdog was close to winning the 2nd set, though.
Women’s Singles
Who guessed the champion?
Just like on the men’s side, there was a clear favorite among women – Iga Swiatek. As a leader of the WTA rankings, her chances of winning were valued at 2.65 before the tournament – but the Pole lost to a future champion (finalist?) Elena Rybakina in the round of 16. Therefore, only __ % of true tennis experts could predict the trophy winner.
The Biggest Amounts Won
By the way, that was one of the biggest wins for the player who placed a bet on Rybakina’s presence in the final – a $400 bet with the odds 10. A user with a semifinal multi-bet won just a bit more – “clean sheet” wins for both Rybakina and Sabalenka with overall odds of 4.29 brought him $4290. And an unusual bet worth mentioning – “Player To Lose 1st Set But Come Back To Win”. That rarely happened at this Australian Open, but a user from China caught a lucky shot – odds 5.1 in the match Azarenka – Zhu in the round of 16. Zhu lost the game but helped her compatriot to earn $2550!
And a Crazy Multi-Bet…
The luckiest Coinplay user succeeded already in the first round. She collected 30 (!) wins of the favorites in one multi-bet with an overall odds of 49.36. That’s how her $150 turned into $7404 – the third-biggest winning of the tournament. Her similar $404 bet on the second round wasn’t so lucky, though – Nadal was eliminated along with a few other favorites. Anyway, what a profit!
Conclusion
Overall, the Australian Open was a great tournament to watch and earn on too! Both singles champions won titles in Adelaide in the lead-up, that’s why 43% and 15% of Coinplay users guessed them before the start. The first round was predictable too. Besides that, live bets are especially popular in tennis, and Coinplay had a lot of special bets during the matches. The tennis year is just starting, so try betting with Coinplay – maybe your lucky bet will be in these statistics next time!
