Australian Open Tennis Betting Guide 2012 - Djokovic Claims Remarkable Success Over Nadal

Australian Open Tennis BettingThe Australian Open Tennis for 2012 is now well underway and already we are seeing some stop class performances. Novak Djokovic is the defending Champion and the one to beat in Melbourne after his remarkable 2011. The Serb won three of the four Slams to get to the top of the world and it has to be said that he is the worthy favourite in the Australian Open Tennis Odds. Djokovic will have to hold off the usual challenge from Rafa Nadal when they meet in the final with the Spaniard the fresher of the pair.

The ladies final will be an exciting one as Maria Sharapova meets Victoria Azarenka on Saturday. The two loudest shriekers in the game will clash for the first Grand Slam of the year and the winner will also be crowned world number one in what is a massive match.

The Australian Open Venue of Melbourne Park is truly State of the Art and facilities include retractable roofs allowing play to be continuous no matter what the weather. The weather is usually good anyway, with the Tournament falling in the middle of Australia’s summer. Last year a new surface was introduced known as plexi-cushion that has better heat retention allowing for truer bounce.

Mens and Ladies Singles 2012

Current Champions are Novak Djokovic who reigned supreme down under in 2011 defeating Andy Murray in the final, while the Ladies Champion is Kim Clijsters, who won last year when defeating Li Na in the final. Winners are presented with the Norman Brooks Trophy for the men and the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup for the ladies.

Djokovic had a wonderful 2011 in winning three of the four Grand Slams and if he can pick up the Australian open in January he will be the top dog once again. The Serb has proven too good and too fit when on his best form and he will be desperate to win the title in Melbourne for the third time.
