Australian Open Tennis Betting 2009

Betting on outcomes has become a hugely enjoyable pastime for tennis followers and sports backers worldwide. Outside of horse racing, soccer and golf, tennis is the next biggest sport for betting offers and has produced some excellent results for those who follow the sport. In mens betting in recent years, Roger Federer has received all the attention and those who have backed him in individual matches and outright Tournament wins have made some outstanding profits. However, Roger's position in world tennis is becoming increasingly threatened by the emerging younger guns such as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Djokovic knocked him out in the semi final here last year, before going on to win and Nadal destroyed him in the French Open last year by a scoreline of 6-1, 6-3, 6-0. It was one of Federer's worst ever defeats and all but ended his hopes of ever winning the French Open.

The women's Tournament at the Australian Open has been a lot more open and has produced six different winners in the last nine years. Serena Williams has won three of these, but the current champion, Maria Sharapova is determined to retain her crown in 2009. Current world number one and reigning French Open Champion, Ana Ivanovic, who was runner-up last year, will be another one of the favourites to win as will her compatriot, Jelena Jankovic. These four are likely to be the top four in the betting.
