Tennis Betting

Which is the best tennis betting site?

Virtually all online sportsbook sites offer the opportunity to put on tennis events. But not all of them can be considered as an ideal choice for tennis betting. Of course, good customer support and the first deposit bonus are important for any sports weather. But for someone who wants to specialize in tennis betting, there are very specific aspects that need to be considered.

What should the ideal website for online tennis betting have?

These are the features that we regard as a must-have for Tennis Betting :

  • All ATP and WTA tournaments, plus Davis Cup and Fed Cup must be offered
  • the option to place Matchwinner and Tournament Winner must be available

All the sites were recommended from topbettingwebsites.co.uk. If your tennis bets go no further than the ones mentioned above, you should probably choose the site that has the best bonus offers. We suggest that you read the reviews of the various providers.

Further aspects for the advanced tennis better

If you really want to get serious about online tennis betting, you will want additional features. These are not available at any online sports betting site. Here are the features that only the best tennis betting sites offer:

  • Betting on ITF Challengers and Futures
  • Betting on the Davis Cup and Fed Cup
  • Betting during the match

If you wish, your options are much more limited.

BetOnline, for example, does not offer in-game bets, and the selection of futures and challengers you can bet on is very limited. MyBet has the ability to place bets on ITF events, but the only in-game bet you can place here is while the game is in progress, tapping the winner.

Bet365 has all these possibilities. Comprehensive coverage of all tennis events is standard here, plus you can even watch live streams from various sporting events, including all tennis matches. All you have to do is sign up and make a minimum deposit. As long as you have a penny on your betting account, you can see livestreams of sporting events, including the German Bundesliga. Only downside: the window in the browser is quite small.

The in-game options at Bet365 are numerous. You can bet on who wins the current set, the next game, on the result of the next three or five games ("Race to Game" tennis bet), number of total games in a set or in a match, handicap bets and much more.

Grand Slam action at Wimbledon

Grand Slam action at Wimbledon

Even when you're not very familiar with the world of tennis, you've probably heard of Wimbledon.

In the world of professional tennis, there are 4 major tournaments each year. These are called Grand Slams, and they are the most prestigious and best tournaments in the world. Grand Slams include the Australian Open, Roland Garros or the French Open, the Wimbledon tournament and the US Open.

Of the four Grand Slams, Wimbledon is the oldest and perhaps the most famous. The first edition was held in 1877, the tournament is the oldest in its category as it is held for 131 years. The first championship took place at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, England. The tournament had only the men's singles section, and had 22 participants.

Since then, the competition has been held in the same place year after year, evolving to have 5 different events and up to 400 competitors. The 5 events are as follows:

  • Single female with 128 participants
  • Single male with 128 participants
  • Double maculino with 64 teams
  • Female doubles with 64 teams
  • Mixed doubles with 48 teams

This year, the 2018 Wimbledon tournament will begin on July 2 and last until July 15. The total prize of the tournament is estimated to be around £31,600,000. It is the only Grand Slam to be played outdoors and on the grass, as the other 3 courts are played in brick dust and on a hard court, and this makes it even more exciting.

For those interested in entering the world of online sports betting, bets can be placed on the winner of the tournament or on any of the 5 events. You can also bet on individual matches, the winner of a match, a set or a game. Round betting is also popular, as is predicting who will reach the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

Last year, the women's event was won by Garbiñe Muguruza, who beat Venus Williams to win her first Wimbledon title. Muguruza has played well this year, reaching the semifinals of the French Open. In the men's event, Roger Federer made history in 2017 by winning his eighth title, becoming one of the most successful players of the Open era.

This year he will return and with his energies charged after deciding not to participate in any brick dust tournament. His main competitor will be Rafael Nadal, who has played all the tournaments this year and has won all but one. After triumphing in the French Open, Nadal can return to make a great performance, and again be a rival very difficult to beat.

Serena Williams returned to participate in a Grand Slam tournament in the French Open this year, but had to retire after suffering an injury. It is not clear if he will be in shape this year to participate in Wimbledon. This may be good news for world No. 1 Simona Halep who won this year's French Open, being her first title on French soil. She will seek to continue with his great moment and get the victory at Wimbledon.

Australia Open - how to bet

Australia Open - how to bet

The Australian Open is the first of four tennis tournaments that make up the Grand Slam. It was created in 1905, began playing in December and is currently held in January, except for three editions that were not carried out by the First World War (1916 to 1918), five others because of World War II (1941 to 1945) and one more in 1986, the year in which the championship went from being played in December to January. Although the venue of the event has changed several times throughout history, since 1972 it has been held in Melbourne and, since 1988, specifically in Melbourne Park.

Initially called the "Australian Championship", the first Grand Slam of the season was called the "Australian Open" in 1968, precisely when the so-called "Era Open" was established. This competition is played on hard surface (plexicushion), although at an earlier time was conducted on grass. While the single male category is the most attractive, there are others such as single female, doubles and mixed doubles, for example, which also have much prestige on the circuit.

A hot start

The Swiss Roger Federer is the reigning champion of the Australian Open, which, among other things, stands out for the high temperatures that dominate the scene in Melbourne during the month of January. So much so that, in many cases, the activity stops and resumes when conditions are given. When it comes to sports betting, it's the first big event of the year for tennis and sport lovers in general. In recent years, especially since the regulation of the game in 2012 (in Spain), tennis has established itself as one of the preferred places for bettors.

It should be remembered that in Wimbledon, as an example, especially rewards the performance of players on grass. In Flushing Meadows, the tennis player who will leave with greater aspirations will be the Serbian Novak Djokovic, followed by Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer. The Big Three, as in the rest of Grand Slams of the season, returns to take the podium favorites.

In addition to the Balearic, in the male box Bautista (10th) and Fernando Verdasco (32nd) have also been labeled as seeded heads. The castellonense arrives at the best time of his life, not in vain occupies the tenth place in the ATP classification, its historical ranking, after reaching the semifinals in All England and the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, results achieved both this year, in which he started lifting the trophy in Doha. For his part, Fernando Verdasco will come with the intention of correcting his irregular season and finish the year of Grand Slams with a good taste in his mouth.

The most resounding low of the tournament, in terms of men, will be the resignation by injury to the right knee of the Argentine Juan Martin del Potro, who would have been the head of series number 16.

Osaka, Barty and Pliskova, for the title and number one
