Tennis Betting

Internet bookmakers are now offering a range of odds for tennis as the popularity of online sports betting continues to grow. Tennis is one of the world"s most watched spectator sports, with events like Wimbledon reaching a worldwide audience in its millions. Highlights of the tennis betting calendar include the four Grand Slam tournaments (the US Open, the French Open, the Australian Open, and of course, Wimbledon itself) as well as the International team tournaments run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

Tennis betting accounts for an increased slice of online bookmakers' business as the sport's global broadcasting coverage and TV rights becomes far more widespread; infiltrating the mainstream (and with it, entering the internet bettors' conscience) like never before. This is also thanks in no small part to the huge strides that Andy Murray has made in recent years on the ATP Circuit, reaching the dizzying heights of World Number Two at his peak thus far and consequently seeing a lot of tennis bets money placed on him generally succeeding, yet particularly in the racquet sports' four grand slam events; the Australian Open, the French Open, the Wimbledon Championships and the US Open.

Not since Fred Perry's Wimbledon reign have British tennis fans had reason to get behind a home-grown player with such enthusiasm, as countless generations of would-be champions have come and gone, promising much yet falling short of both their potential and patriotic fans' expectations. Although the online bookies have usually judged and ultimately priced up their chances pretty much spot on to date.

So finally the advent of a true challenger to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s current crowns has awoken the tennis-following public’s hitherto dormant interest in the sport, and with it the online bookmakers’ remit to deliver comprehensive tennis betting market goods. With respect to both Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski – who never quite made the grade whilst juggling with the inherent pressures that are part and parcel of ultimately emulating Perry’s achievements – Andy Murray shows the promise to eventually satisfy tennis fans’ demands, as he's recently proven by going so close at the Australian Open tennis and US Open tennis tournaments.
