Tennis odds makers are finally getting back in the saddle after the brief winter which comes every year during the last month of the year, and the Aussie tennis betting warm up events.
At present the entire world is focused on the Aussie Open tennis , but the savvy tennis betting odds fan should be looking ahead for the next tennis tournament. For fans of the ATP men’s tour that means checking out the tennis for the ATP ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament
Tennis odds for this tournament are not as widely sought after as the Grand Slam events, of course, but this is still a highly entertaining chance to play the tennis betting odds. Held from February 9-15 this tennis odds tournament has been drawing the top names in tennis betting odds since 1972. Dutch financial conglomerate ABN AMRO is the tennis tournament’s main sponsor and so it’s only fitting that the action takes place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
While there are three other top tennis tournaments on this same weekend in other parts of the world, this year this tournament will bet top tennis betting odds opportunity on the planet. The reason for this has to do with balance of continental tennis power and as the European players are dominating the tennis top ten rankings right now, it’s most likely that they will play closer to home at this tournament rather than elsewhere. Aside from being closer to home after more than a month of playing tennis events in Australia, choosing to play in Europe has a strategic advantage as well. Although this is a hard court tennis event indoors, the players will likely begin preparing for the European clay court season soon after this event.
Top names that have won this tennis event in the past include Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt and Mickail Youzny. Last year the surprise tennis champ was Frenchman Micheal Llodra who will no doubt be looking to make it back to back tennis victories in 2009.
So far the tennis odds field is shaping up to be a good one. World tennis number one Rapha Nadal has already committed to playing in the tournament. As have fellow top ten ranked players Andy Murray, Nikolay Davydenko, Gilles Simon and Jo-WIlfried Tsonga. The competition in the tennis doesn’t get much better than this and any of these players is capable of taking home the tennis betting crown.
