Online Tennis Betting »

Tennis is a simple sport in which the only real variable is the players themselves; serve the ball in and then keep returning the ball until your opponent hits it out. When it comes to tennis tournaments, this is what Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray do day in, day out with little trouble until the final rounds. The bookmakers know this, and you should know it, too. There is little value to be found in the early rounds of tournaments when backing the top players, but luckily there are plenty more players scrapping for vital early round wins that can carry them up the rankings.

Strategy-wise, the key factors in tennis are recent form and surface history. There are some players who simply aren’t as good on some surfaces as others. Clay is the best-known troublemaker, with American players particularly poor at adapting their game. When it comes to Wimbledon betting, try and take into account who may or may not struggle on grass.
