The big tennis betting action from Down Under brings the world's best players together for one of the biggest titles in the sport. The early-season high-profile action is a big highlight of the January sporting scene, capturing attention from around the world as stars of the game strut their stuff on the famous blue courts.
About the Big Tennis Tournament
As one of the four major tennis tournaments that are played in a season, Australia's premier event provides top-tier action playing out in front of the Melbourne crowds.
Both the men's and women's draws begin with a round of 128 players. Some of those players lining up in the draws have already battled through qualification rounds to get to the big stage.
Others, like the top-ranked tennis stars in the world, those at the shortest tennis odds in the 'Outright Winner' Market, automatically book their slots.
The famous tournament was founded in 1905, so it had well over a century of memorable moments played out on its courts. It is also one of the major sports tournaments played in the Southern Hemisphere and the most well-attended.
Futures Forecasts
Betting on tennis for the major tournament can begin before a single ball has been sent crashing down the court. The 'Outright Winner' market is one of the most popular tennis options at NordicBet.
At the head of the market sit the top-ranked players, those top seeds that are expected to push deep into the second week of competition and challenge for the title. But tennis betting coverage doesn't stop there.
With the draw for the big competition being so large, options like 'To Win 1st Quarter' step into the frame. Breaking down the tournament draws into smaller chunks is a popular approach for a tennis betting strategy.
Expanding on that is the 'Stage of Elimination' betting approach. This is where the exact stage at which a player will lose their title bid can be selected, be that in the 1st round, quarterfinals, or the final itself.
Match Betting on Tennis
Pre-match tennis markets for the big event dial in the focus a little tighter. A simple two-way pick of the winner of matches is popular for building accumulators in tennis betting.
However, there can be many uneven match-ups in the tournament, where a Top 10 player meets a qualifier, for example, especially through the early rounds.
So having extra tennis betting options to build a strategy around can make a big difference, and at NordicBet, more than 20 bet options can be found pre-match on tournament fixtures.
The 'Games Handicap' line provides a good alternative option to the match winner forecast. Handicap tennis odds are where a heavy favourite is set with a virtual handicap of something like -4.5 games.
The tennis betting decision then depends on whether the player will cover that handicap in claiming victory in the match. A handicap option on sets and on each of the individual sets provides even more variety.
Plenty of 'Over/Under' options can also be found in tennis betting. These 'Total' bets can be on both the number of sets and the number of games in a match. But 'Totals' options can also be found for the number of games played within a particular set as well.
