Tennis DFS and Pick’EM Picks for The Australian Open – PrizePicks, Underdog, and DraftKings

Aryna Sabalenka: Sabalenka takes the spotlight as the #2 points-per-dollar player that is not commanding an outsized ownership expectation. Sabalenka boasts an impressive ELO rating percentile of 99.55 and remains #2 in the world rankings. She is also the defending champion of this event with overwhelming odds of -5000 against Ella Seidel. This event is full of high-profile men in the elite salary range on DraftKings, but all of those players show a possible higher ownership rate. Sabalenka has the edge there, and this could be a smooth and high-upside performance that gives you an advantage.

Jesper De Jong: The 23-year-old Dutch player is a sizeable favorite in this spot against world #72 Pedro Chacin. That should say something about how odds makers view his prospects on the tour. He has come through qualifying in impressive fashion, and a win should be enough to get home with just a 17.5 fantasy score threshold on PrizePicks. For what it’s worth, these two faced off in March of 2023, and De Jong absolutely cruised in the second set, taking it 7-5, 6-2 for the W.

Novak Djokovic: He’s playing some of the best tennis he’s ever played at an advanced age, and beating some absolutely terrific competitors in the process. With all due respect to 18-year-old Dino Prizmic, I would not qualify this opponent as on the level. The -5000 odds (FanDuel) certainly imply the same. Prizmic was able to get through qualifying to earn the right to face the living legend, but he was absolutely roasted against his last actual opponent of note (Brandon Nakashima) recently at the Workday Canberra International Canberra. A fantasy score of 32 on PrizePicks requires significant dominance in a 3-sets-to-win environment, but that’s essentially what we should be expecting here. That would obviously be useful in DFS as well, though the price is demanding it.
