The demand for
Australian Open
tennis betting odds keeps growing as the youngest of the grand slam
tournaments raises its profile with every passing year. The
Australian Open started in 1905, which means that it is a few years
younger than the French Open (1891), Wimbledon (1877) and US Open
(1881), but it gets much more attention now than it did beforethe
competition moved to Melbourne Park in 1988.
The first of the four majors, it's
held at the start of the tennis year and so is a benchmark for the
rest of the season. The list of previous winners reads like a who's
who of tennis legends: Agassi, Sampras, Hingis, Lendl, Seles,
Wilander, Navratilova, Connors, Court and Emerson. |
Australian Open is one of the
world's premier tennis tournaments. |
The Australian Open reaches its climax
on February 1 with the men's singles championship match.
The Australian open tennis mens event has all the makings of an
outstanding contest although some people are saying that it's really a
contest between 4 players. The big 4 - Roger Federer, Raphael Nadal,
Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are all in contention but then no one
can be ruled out in this contest and players such as Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga, Juan Martin Del Potro, Gilles Simon and Andy Roddick have
everything to play for.
The women's singles final is held on January 31.
The Australian open womens event is no less interesting; with Maria
Sharipova having pulled out leaving a vacant title and a field of
strong determined players eager to take her place. Venus Williams and
Serena Williams are the favourites in this competition with Jelena
Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic following close behind with excellent odds
for an upset.
Melbourne Park Stadium will play host to all the top ranked tennis
players in world tennis. The Australian open is a notoriously tough
event, with searing temperatures often reaching 90 degrees and
organisers have had to institute an Extreme Heat Policy to regulate
when conditions are notviable for international competition.
In an effort to combat the effects of Melbourne's extreme weather, a
retractable roof was constructed over the centre court, known as the
Rod Laver Arena since the year 2000.
Australian
Open Tennis - The Basics
The Australian Open tennis tournament is one of the four Grand Slam
tennis tournaments. The Australian Open tennis tournament, now
permanently played at Melbourne Park, is the first Grand Slam event of
the year. It now occurs during the last two weeks of January but was
formerly held in December.
Held in the middle of the Australian summer, the Australian Open is
famous for its notoriously hot days. An extreme-heat policy is often
put into play when temperatures (and humidity) reach dangerous levels.
Like the other Grand Slam events the Australian Open singles champions
are the ultimate survivors of a 128-person draw, with doubles titles
contested froma 64-team draw and the mixed doubles a 32-team affair.
Many tennis afficenados belive that the Australian Open tennis is the
best contest of the year as its scheduling at the start of the tennis
year allows for peak player fitness and the entry of nearly all of the
world's top players.
Traditionally, accomplishing a slam is to win all four majors in a
calendar year; recently tennis fans have adopted
the shorthand of referring to each of the four parts of the Slam
(Australian, French, Wimbledon and US Opens) as a slam in itself. The
Australian Rod Laver was the last man to complete a Grand Slam in
men's singles in 1969. On the women's side, Steffi Graf was the last
woman to win a Grand Slam in 1988, and she also won the Olympic Gold
in Seoul in the same year, making it a Golden Slam.

The Australasian Tennis
Championship were first held in 1905 at the Warehouseman's Cricket
Ground in St Kilda Road, Melbourne, in the same city that it was
destined to return to for good.
It was originally organized by the Lawn Tennis Association of
Australia, which has since been
renamed to Tennis Australia. After a brief break during the First World
War, the women's singles
tournament was added in 1922 and the competition was renamed the
Australian Championships in 1927.
