Tennis Betting

Yesterday had a few pretty big surprises, although it might not be so surprising to see Roddick out early considering he is still recovering from mono. You have to give it to Tipsarevic though, he played an almost flawless match painting the lines and going for broke as often as he could.

Another quite surprising result was that teenager Ryan Harrison managedto beat Ivan Ljubicic in four sets. Really impressive and this bodes well for the future of American tennis.

American tennis is already in decent form despite Roddick’s loss, becuase both Querrey and Isner managed to get through their matches quite convincingly. These players are both dangerous enough to reach a semi-final here I think.

We didn’t get many eyebrow-raising results in yesterday’s open, except for Baghdatis losing in five sets to veteran Clement. Looking at the other matches; Nadal had to play really well to beat Gabashvili 7-6 7-6 6-3 and Djokovic was taken to five sets against Troicki. James Blake was back in form to beat Vliegen in three straight sets and Fish and Verdasco both needed five sets to get through the always nervous opening match.

Let’s have a look at some of today’s exciting matches. Tennis betting odds are provided by Bodog, one of our partner sites and great site to bet on tennis and other sports.

It was an exciting start to the US Open, with Federer hitting another masterpiece shot between his legs in his easy straight sets win against Dabul, Monfils and Soderling showing why they are top players and not their lesser-known opponents, and Mathieu doing some justice to his talent by “upsetting” Leyton Hewitt in five sets.

Five sets is the big reminder that this is a slam which both Monfils and Soderling were well aware of yesterday. Monfils was pushed to his utmost against American Kendrick. Kendrick were close to winning, and had two points to go up 3-1 in the final set, but nerves came over him and Monfils fought back and managed to take the set and the match 6-4. He didn’t show fantastic form, but he did show some resiliance and takes you a long way.

The US Open starts today with some guaranteed easy wins, one or two upsets and some really tight matches. Here is a look at the most interesting tennis action along with tennis betting odds from Sportsinteraction.

Davydenko vs Russell. This might be an upset, how strange it may seem to you. Here we have a veteran and great tennis figher in Michael Russell (always short-sleeved to show his muscles) against Davydenko who is not in top form. For you who like to take a risk and get high odds I suggest a bet on Russell here at 6 times your money

De Bakker vs Gicquel. De Bakker is a great talent, but hasn’t he been playing a little too much this year? Gicquel is up and down, but he seems to have found some kind of form going into the Open. I think he has a chance against the Dutch junior. You get odds 3.50 at Sportsinteraction if you bet on Gicquel win.
