Us Open Tennis Betting – The Basics
Centrebet offers a full range of 2007 US Open Tennis betting odds. The US Open marks the end of the grand slam year and it is one of the many events on which Centrebet offers a tremendous tennis betting odds service. The US Open at Flushing Meadows in New York City takes place after the Australian Open in January, the French Open in May/ June, and Wimbledon in June/July, with the sport's superstars gathering in the Big Apple towards the end of the American summer. The US Open got under way in 1881 and Richard Sears won the first seven men's singles crowns. Times change and now it is the world's richest tennis tournament open to amateurs and professionals.
Us Open Tennis Betting - Bet Types
Betting on the US Open winner isn't the only option offered to tennis fans at Centrebet. Tournament winner is the most popular future betting option, but match betting accounts for the majority of Centrebet's turnover, not least because it takes 127 men's singles encounters before the champion emerges. The same number applies for the women's singles as its main draw also contains 128 individuals. The three doubles competitions feature fewer teams and matches. Centrebet frames markets on all singles encounters and selected doubles matches, listing odds on everything from the basic outcome (for example, Roger Federer to beat James Blake in the third round) to the number of double faults that the Fed Express commits (for example, more or fewer than four and a half - the half-point quote is necessary to pay out line bets).
Us Open Tennis Betting – The Favourites
According to Centrebet's US Open men's singles odds, defending champion Roger Federer is the man to beat in 2007. Federer has beaten local favourites in the last two US Open finals and his peers acknowledge that he is unbeatable on his day. James Blake and Andy Roddick look like the best hope of the home country, with Roddick having contested the final in 2006. The New York fans would love nothing more than to see one of their own win. Given Federer’s dominance, this is much more likely in the women’s event, with the field being much more competitive. American stars Lindsay Davenport, Serena Williams and Venus Williams have all won the championship before.
