The 2025 Australian Open tennis tournament kicks off this Sunday, with a total of $96.5 million in prize money for players on offer this year, including $3.5 million in prize money for Italy's Sinner to defend his men's singles title, and he is currently the favourite to win the international market.

The total prize money of the Australian Open has increased by $10 million, or 11.5%, from last year's $86.5 million, and has directly doubled from $44 million in 2016, and the prize money has increased in all rounds, with the first round of the side event rising the most, from $31,250 last year to $35,000 this year.

Sinner and Sabalenka topped the men's and women's singles last year, winning $3.15 million, and if they succeed this year, they will receive $3.5 million, an increase of 11%, but it is still the lowest in the four Grand Slams, with the highest prize being $3.6 million at last year's US Open.

The Australian Open is about to begin, and the international betting "BetMGM" also announced the men's singles odds, Sinner is favored to win the championship with +150, followed by Spanish star Alcaraz with +300, and Djokovic, who won 10 titles, is only third with +400.

In women's singles, Sabalenka is the most favored with +225 odds, with American Gauff +300 in second place and Swiatek in third place with +450.
