The 16 seed, Serena Williams, has the best odds to win at +440 while top-seeded Simona Halep is next at +900. But if the chalk ends up winning out in top quarter of the bracket, Serena and Halep will face off in the fourth round.
SUPER loaded top quarter, including a redo of the US Open R1 of Halep-Kanepi and both Williamses. Wow. #AusOpen pic.twitter.com/IC8S8zENGx

Another fun note is that Serena didn't actually win a tournament in 2018, yet she's still favored to win the first Major of 2019.
