US Open Tennis Betting 2011
The United States Open is the last Grand slam on the professional tennis calendar and a last chance for a professional to win one of the four big tournaments every year. The US Open is wide open across the men's draw and the women's draw this year with a number of possible winners for each.
US Open tennis betting 2011 will of course feature the traditionally strong favourites in each category. However, there is always an outside chance that one of the outsiders for a Grand slam will come through the ranks and upset the odds like so many have done in the past.
Rafael Nadal is the current title holder on the men's side of the draw while Kim Clijsters is the champion for the female side of the draw. Both players will be equally determined to retain their titles for a second year running.
Mens US Open Tennis
There are always going to be a few of the man who feature at the very top of the betting market for every Grand Slam and this one will be no different. Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer are all in fine form and have all laced the later stages of every Grand Slam so far this season.
The favourite to take the male US Open tennis title is probably Federer who seems to have rediscovered some of his best form. The Swiss has been enigmatic over the last couple of months and was unlucky not to have won the French Open. Although the world rankings would not suggest it, in the eyes of many he's still the main man to beat.
Djokovic could also be considered the favourite in the male US Open tennis betting market. Djokovic has been in the best form this season and holds the longest winning streak out of any of the top four players. The Serbian is yet to win any Grand Slam other than the Australian Open and he has to start somewhere.
Womens US Open Tennis
The women are a lot harder to predict because there are so many good players all competing now on the professional circuit. The Williams sisters will be natural favourites because they have just come back onto the professional scene and will be playing in their own country.
Then there is the Eastern European revolution to consider with so many good players from Russia and the former Soviet states starting to play well. Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka could both feature in this tournament. US Open tennis betting 2011 for the women could be one of the most difficult markets to predict.
It would be naïve to forget about a lot of the outsiders who have started to make a name for themselves in the world of tennis. Sabine Lasicki is a classic example as she started to hit her best form at Wimbledon. This will carry forward into the next Grand Slam which makes her a big threat.
US Open Betting Strategy
US Open betting strategy is very simple to deal with. It would be naïve to go and jump in at the deep end because there is still time for things like injury and fitness to play a part in who actually enters the US Open.
It will be a much better tactic with the US Open to wait until the list of entrants and the draws have been completed. It will then be possible to see which of the women and men have good runs to the final and who has a good chance of winning the title.
