Australian Open Tennis Betting 2008
The first of the major grand slams kicks off in Melbourne, Australia on the 14-27 January 2008.
This year the courts have a new surface and a new colour, proudly named Australian Open True Blue. This should make it much better for the players to see the ball and easier for the spectators too.
Favourites to win the Australian Open 2008
Roger Federer will be hot favourite to win again and no doubt hoping to lift that coveted trophy for the third time in a row and take home A$ 10.7 million in prize money.
He has won three grand slams this last year, The Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. Justine Henin is deservedly ranked number 1 after winning 63 of her 67 matches during 2007, so she is sure to be a good bet for winning the women?s singles at Melbourne.
Her Grand Slam wins this year were The French Open which she has won three times consecutively and the US Open in New York.
