2024 Australian Open men's odds, picks: Djokovic vs. Sinner semifinals best bets and predictions from proven expert

No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic and fourth-seeded Jannik Sinner play for a spot in a Grand Slam final for the second time in three tournaments when they meet in the men's semifinals of the 2024 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on Thursday. Djokovic and Sinner squared off in the semifinals at Wimbledon last July, with the former posting a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) victory. The 36-year-old Djokovic, who is the all-time leader with 24 Grand Slam men's singles titles and making his 48th appearance in a major semifinal, is a 10-time Australian Open champion and has won the crown each of the last four times he participated in the tournament. Sinner is in the semifinals of this event for the first time after defeating No. 5 seed Andrey Rublev 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 in the quarters.

First serve at Rod Laver Arena is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. Djokovic is the -200 favorite (risk $200 to win $100) in the latest Djokovic vs. Sinner odds, while Sinner is a +160 underdog. The over/under for total games in the match is 39.5, with Djokovic favored by 3.5 games. 

Before you make any Sinner vs. Djokovic picks or 2024 Australian Open predictions, you NEED to see what tennis expert Jose Onorato has to say.

Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela. After coming to the U.S., he trained with famed coach Nick Bollettieri at IMG Academy in Florida and faced players like Robert Farah, now one of the world's top-ranked doubles players.

Onorato, who holds dual degrees in finance and economics from the University of Miami, does extensive research before placing any tennis bets. He studies current form, players' tendencies on a particular surface, weather conditions and many other relevant factors. That systematic approach helped Onorato go 128-90-7 -- up 69.25 units -- since 2022!

The expert knows Djokovic hasn't lost at the Australian Open since falling to Hyeon Chung in the fourth round in 2018, winning 33 consecutive matches to tie the all-time tournament record set by Monica Seles from 1991-99. His last victory was a 7-6 (7-3), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 triumph over No. 12 seed Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals. Sinner has won each of his first five matches in this event in straight sets after helping Italy capture the Davis Cup in November by defeating Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-0 in the final. The 22-year-old lost his first three career meetings with Djokovic but has won two of the last three, joining Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray as the only players to defeat the Serb twice in a 12-day span with his victories in the group stage of the 2023 ATP Finals and the Davis Cup semifinals.
