Predicting the Grand Slam calendar is always a gamble, but based on current form and surface preferences, here is how the 2026 season could play out. This year looks like another battle between the established “big two” on the men’s side and a mix of dominant players and potential comeback stories for the women.
This is our betting predictions for the men’s and women’s Grand Slams in 2026:
Australian Open
- Men’s Winner: Jannik Sinner It’s always difficult NOT to choose the Italian no 1. Sinner has turned into a hard-court machine and will most likely continue to break records this year. His ability to take the ball early, dictate play from the baseline and go from defence to attack makes him the man to beat in Melbourne. After proving he can handle the best over five sets, his confidence on this surface is higher than anyone else’s right now.
- Women’s Winner: Amanda Anisimova We can’t just go with the odds favorites so this is a bold pick, but Anisimova has the raw power to blow anyone off the court when she’s healthy and in rhythm. The new World No 3 has always played well in Australia, and if she finds her range early in the tournament, her flat hitting is a nightmare for opponents on these fast courts.
A win for Sinner gives odds around 1.91 or -110 at most of the best tennis sportsbooks. A bet on Anisimova pays better at 11.00 (+1000) and she is only the 5th favorite as her overall consistency is not yet there.
French Open (Roland Garros)
- Men’s Winner: Carlos Alcaraz The Sincaraz rivalry continues and here we go with the Spaniard. Alcaraz is a natural on clay. His variety, specifically that devastating drop shot, and his crazy movement make him the most complete player on the dirt. Unless he struggles with fitness, he enters Paris as the favorite to grind through the draw and defend his title.
- Women’s Winner: Iga Swiatek I think Swiatek will find her form again on clay. Her game feels built specifically for this tournament and surface. She understands the clay court better than anyone if she’s in form this spring, and she rarely lets an upset happen here.
Wimbledon
- Men’s Winner: Carlos Alcaraz Alcaraz proved his grass-court credentials by adapting his game faster than anyone expected. We’ll go for an in-form Carlos mid year with a new coach by his side, he will claim two Slams in a row.
- Women’s Winner: Aryna Sabalenka Sabalenka’s game is built on power, and should be a good weapon in London this summer. When her serve is clicking, she can hold easily and apply massive pressure on the return. After several deep runs at SW19, this could be the year she finally keeps her unforced errors low enough. She wants revenge for last years semifinal loss and I think it’s her turn for this classic trophy.
US Open
- Men’s Winner: Jannik Sinner Two Slams each for the big two again? Why not. Sinner’s game translates perfectly to the New York hard courts. Of course, he lost the final last year, but had also suffered minor injury and illness setbacks in the run-up. He thrives in the night-session atmosphere and he surely has the stamina to survive the humid conditions. By this stage of the season, it’s a lot down to potential physical issues. Apart from the top 2, can Taylor Fritz potentially find his best form and challenge for the home Slam?
- Women’s Winner: Aryna Sabalenka Sabalenka often plays her best tennis in the North American hard-court swing and she is the world no 1 for a reason. The bounce in New York suits her strike zone perfectly. If she carries momentum from a successful summer, her ability to overpower opponents from the back of the court makes her the frontrunner for the final Slam of the year.
