Kings Of The Court
It’s a great time to be a tennis fan. The Men’s side of the game has seen in recent times a period of dominance by the ‘big four’, but that feels like it’s changing. The same few players have been battling it out in pretty much every Grand Slam final for years, and only time and titles will tell if they can become true legends of the game (though Federer has already got Hall of Fame written all over him), but for the time being it looks like the hold of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray on the very top of the game might be slipping: the 2014 US Open Final was the first major tournament in years that didn’t feature any of those four players, Andy Murray has slipped briefly out of the top 10 spots in the rankings, and Federer isn’t getting any younger.
Add to that a crop of ambitious youngsters all looking to emerge from the long shadows cast by those four giants of the modern games, and it looks like all bets are on in Men’s Tennis in 2015 and beyond. And the WTA is seeing some competition beginning to hot up again, as well. All four Slams in 2014 were won by different women, and there’s a sense coming back into the Women’s’ game that anyone can beat anyone else on their day. And, of course, both sides of the sport have been captivating viewing all year, and have been drawing the usual massive crowds at venues and on the TV.
The modern game is just getting better and better to watch, too. Replay technology is appearing in all sorts of sports, from the NRL to Cricket, and Tennis’ challenge system brings that same tension to the court. It’s the biggest change in the game since the introduction of the tie-break back in the 70s, and it’s been a good one. With both the Men’s and Women’s Tours incredibly competitive at the moment, there are lots of possibilities for head-to-head betting, and you’ll likely see some odds that you like the look of, especially with the live in-play option at top online betting sites.
With all that excitement come some great possibilities for placing bets on the Tennis. This is a fantastic sport to bet on, as well as to watch. There’s lots of Tennis to enjoy through the course of the year, and it’s happening pretty much every day somewhere around the world. The Tour schedule keeps the players incredibly busy as they move between the four big Grand Slams and the Masters Series – and there’s the Davis Cup to keep you interested, too! Starting in January with our very own Australian Open, which has been thrilling Australian crowds since 1905, the Grand Slams are the huge highlights in the Tennis calendar both for fans and for punters.
Moving from the hard courts of the Australian Open to the clay at Roland Garros for the French Open, then onto the carefully manicured lawns of Wimbledon before a return to the hard courts for the US Open, the Tour gives you lots to enjoy all year round.
