To further whet your tennis appetite, we&#8217;re going to break down the favorites, sleepers and long shot for the Women&#8217;s Singles event.<\/p>\n<p>Can Serena Williams continue her dominance in this event? Or will another player spoil her party? Read on below to find out. While you&#8217;re at it, you can check out the latest odds update for the <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/2016-australian-open-mens-singles-odds-update-january-17-2016.html\" target=\"_blank\">Men&#8217;s Singles draw<\/a>.<\/p>\n[sc:TennisArticles ]\n<h2>2016 Australian Open Women&#8217;s Singles Odds Update<\/h2>\n<h3>Favorites \u2013 Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka<\/h3>\n<p>Serena Williams may be the top seed in this tournament but the road to the championship ain\u2019t gonna be easy for the world no. 1 this year. The women\u2019s draw features Williams on the top half alongside Agnieszka Radwanska, Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova. As if that wasn\u2019t tough enough, the 34-year-old American will face world no. 35 Camila Giorgi in the first round, the highest-ranked player not to be seeded here.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:AUS15-250 ]Compounding Serena\u2019s problems are her ongoing injury woes. She has not played a meaningful match since losing to Roberta Vinci in the semifinals of the US Open in September. That being said, Williams remains the heavy favorite at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/australian-open-women\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+200<\/strong><\/a> to lift the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup because of her impressive record here. Williams has already won six Australian Open titles with the world no. 1 never losing a final here at Melbourne Park.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one player, though, who can derail Williams\u2019 Australian Open bid, it\u2019s got to be Victoria Azarenka. She triumphed in Melbourne in both 2012 and 2013, making Azarenka one of only three women in the field &#8212; along with Williams and Sharapova &#8212; to have won the Australian Open title. She is pegged at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/australian-open-women\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+350<\/strong><\/a> to claim her third Australian Open crown.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join TopBet online sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the Australian Open action!<\/p>\n<h3>Sleepers \u2013 Eugenie Bouchard and Sloane Stephens<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Eugenie+Bouchard+2016+Hobart+International+pGjNqPmFWkal.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-91398\" title=\"2016-Australian-Open-Women\u2019s-Singles-Odds-Update\u2013January-17-2016\" alt=\"2016 Australian Open Women\u2019s Singles Odds Update \u2013 January 17, 2016\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Eugenie+Bouchard+2016+Hobart+International+pGjNqPmFWkal.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Eugenie+Bouchard+2016+Hobart+International+pGjNqPmFWkal.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Eugenie+Bouchard+2016+Hobart+International+pGjNqPmFWkal-250x172.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One player you can\u2019t sleep on in this event is Eugenie Bouchard. She\u2019s starting to regain her old form after dropping down to 48<sup>th<\/sup> in the world rankings. She had a successful showing at the Hobart International in Sydney this past week, reaching her first final since the 2014 Wuhan Open. Bouchard has now reached the quarterfinals in each of her last two events. Her odds of winning the Australian Open are currently priced at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/australian-open-women\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+2,500<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another player who can definitely surprise in this tournament is Sloane Stephens. The American showed her true worth at the ASB Classic earlier this month, beating Julia Goerges, 7-5, 6-2, in the final to grab her second career WTA title. That performance will serve her in good stead ahead of this week&#8217;s Australian Open, the event where she grabbed a historic semifinal finish back in 2013.
