Defending champion and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic looks for his ninth Australian Open title when the year's first grand slam begins on Monday in Melbourne. Djokovic is the +110 favorite in the Australian Open odds from William Hill Sportsbook, followed by Daniil Medvedev (+450), Dominic Thiem (+500) and Rafael Nadal (+550). 

Before you pick the 2021 Australian Open men's champ, you need to see whom Sean Calvert is backing.

Calvert is the famed handicapper who called Stan Wawrinka winning the 2014 Australian Open at 60-1 -- the last Australian title won by someone other than Djokovic or Roger Federer. In 2019, Calvert took down a huge score on Thiem winning Indian Wells at 80-1, among many stunning calls. Anyone following his picks is way up.

Now, Calvert has scrutinized the latest Australian Open odds and released his coveted best bets to win it all. We can tell you he's fading Djokovic, even though he has won the tournament a record eight times and is the overwhelming favorite at +110. "Djokovic's price is always too short for me to take an interest," Calvert tells SportsLine.

Calvert also loves two long shots, including one who would pay +10000. "The conditions in Melbourne will suit him," Calvert says of this enormous long shot. He's sharing who it is, and all his picks, only with SportsLine members.
