Tennis betting odds

Packed with endless sporting masterstrokes, countless unbeatable rallies, and numerous rivalries and feuds, when it comes to no-stop court action, tennis is the sport to watch – it’s just one of the reasons why our various tennis betting markets are some of the most popular out there!

Whether it’s the hard courts of the Australian Open, or the indomitable red clay of Roland Garros, tennis is one of those worldwide sports that sees champions arising from all corners of the globe, with Canadian favorites like Félix Auger-Aliassime and Victoria Mboko having very much come into their own in recent years.

Naturally, this rising awareness might make you inclined to put down a wager or two on your go-to tennis hero’s next match, but where do you start if you’ve never had to read the tennis odds in Canada before?

Well, if you intend on placing a successful tennis bet, there are definitely a couple of things to understand before you put down any wager. So, here’s a quick look at the main areas to be aware of before you begin.

How to read tennis odds in Canada

Unlike in the UK and various European countries, which favor a fractional odds format, here in Canada, we calculate our tennis bets through a decimal odds system. However, while this might be a little confusing to look at initially, it’s a very simple system once you wrap your head around it.

For example, say that Félix Auger-Aliassime entered Wimbledon’s final at odds of 10.50 and then won the tournament; for every $1 you put in, you’d win $10.50, for a total profit of $9.50. Alternatively, if Victoria Mboko had longer odds of 30.00 and you wagered $30, a winning outcome would net you a return of $900!

Of course, these are just example odds, and you’ll need to keep an eye on those given to you by the Betway team or your local bookie to get a good idea of how each player is expected to perform in a given match.

Which tennis bet markets should you try?

Now that you know how to read tennis odds, let’s quickly touch on which online tennis betting markets you might want to try. Coming equipped with a huge variety of potential betting options, bigger tennis markets can be a lot to take in on your first go-around, which is why we recommend sticking to the following zones initially:

• Match winner – A simple bet on who will win the match.
• Correct score – A bet on the final match results or a particular set’s score.
• Set betting – A bet on who will win a given set.
• Game betting – A bet on the total number of games played in a match.
• In-play betting – A form of betting as you go, letting you place bets on set outcomes, serves, and more while a game is still happening.

What are the top tennis tournaments to bet on?

While there are various tennis tournaments and competitions happening at any one time, if you want to bet on big-name players and occasions, then your first and only port of call for tennis betting in Canada should be the yearly Grand Slams.

Including the likes of the US Open, Wimbledon, the French Open, and the Australian Open, these four events are considered to be the most prestigious overall. So, here’s a quick look at what’s involved in each competition to help guide your first wager:

Wimbledon

Certainly the most well-known and beloved tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon is the only grass-court competition out of the major four tennis events, which makes it a uniquely challenging experience to play on for those used to harder surfaces.

However, even those players who regularly compete on turf can find Wimbledon to be a bit of a wild card when it comes to performance, with its padded grounds causing grip issues and slips for the unaware.

The US Open

Typically the last big-name tennis tournament of the year, the US Open swaps out grass for acrylic hard courts, turning turf tactics on their head as players try to account for this material’s springier nature and squeaky expanse.

Powerful serves and strikes are what the US Open is really all about, and it’s definitely favored by players who lean into an aggressive playstyle. Combine this with longer matches, and those competing will need a sturdy mental fortitude to maintain good form throughout multiple high-energy games.

The French Open

Defined by its hardy red clay courts, out of all the major 4 tennis events, the French Open is considered the most challenging surface to play on. As a result, tennis odds for this competition tend to be more varied and wide-ranging.

Home to a higher bounce rate than all other court types, reaction times are everything in the French Open, a problem made all the more challenging by the slower pace of play and the friction-heavy grounds.

The Australian Open

The very first tournament of the tennis calendar, the Australian Open matches the US Open in terms of its hard court surfaces. However, this is where the similarities end, and the unpredictable variations begin.

Despite being held in the height of the Australian summer, the weather around the Australian Open is well-known for its varying nature. High heat in the day can quickly lead to player exhaustion, while humid evenings can leave players and crowds alike struggling to keep their heads in the game.
