The 2009 Australian Open Tennis Odds

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. It has proved to be an enormous success, so much so that the All England Club will soon follow suit. In the case of Wimbledon however, it will not be to protect the players from extreme heat, but from the incessant rain that has troubled the Championships for so long.

Odds to Win 2009 US Open Tennis Tournament

Being the final Grand Slam of the tennis season there is always a bit of form to go on but just like horse racing one of the most important things to note is the surface. Like the year's first Grand Slam (Australian Open) the US Open is played on a hard court and therefore players can perform very differently on this rather than either grass (Wimbledon) or clay (French). More US Open Tennis Facts and History

The U.S. Open originates from two separate tournaments: the men's tournament and the women's tournament. The event was first held in August 1881 and staged at the Newport Casino, Newport, Rhode Island (men's singles only). The championships were known as the U.S. National Singles Championship for men. Only clubs that were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association were permitted to enter.

In 1900, U.S. National Men's Doubles Championship was held for the first time. Tournaments were held in the east and the west of the country in order to determine the best two teams (sectional winners). These would then compete in a play-off. The winner would play the defending champions in the challenge round.

Six years after the men's nationals were held, the first official U.S. Women's National Singles Championship was held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in 1887, followed by the U.S. Women's National Doubles Championship in 1889. The first U.S. Mixed Doubles Championship was held alongside the Women's Singles and Doubles. More Us Open Grand Slam Tennis Betting Info

2009 Wimbledon Tennis Odds To win

The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly referred to as simply "Wimbledon", is the oldest and arguably most
prestigious event in the sport of tennis. Held every June and July in London, United Kingdom the tournament
is the third Grand Slam event played each year, preceded by the Australian Open and the French Open, and
followed by the U.S. Open. Wimbledon Tennis Facts

The tournament (which is the only Grand Slam event played on grass - although there are other tournaments
played on the surface such as Queens and Halle) lasts for two weeks, subject to extensions for rain.

Everyone with a big serve is a Wimbledon title contender as the lush green lawns on which the tournament
unfolds lend themselves to powerful play. Roger Federer has won Wimbledon for the last six consecutive years
(2003 – 2008) so he is the obvious favorite for the 2009 title, although it would only take one bad day at
the office for him to come unstuck. Andy Roddick's first serve is the fastest of the men's singles participants
so he is one for the notebook. Amelie Mauresmo and Justine Henin-Hardenne are expected to continue their
tussle at the top of the women’s rankings, while the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, are sure to
challenge for the title in 2009 if fitness permits. This year there will be plenty of money making
opportunities, so be sure to check these Wimbledon odds every day. More Wimbledon Tennis Betting

2008 French Open Recap

Four games is all it took, for Rafael Nadal rubber-stamped his complete dominance on the red clay by winning the 2008 French Open. It wasn’t much of a surprise to see Rafael Nadal capture his fourth straight French Open title, tying Bjorn Borg’s Open Era record. What was surprising was the fashion in which Nadal won on Sunday—to put it mildly, Nadal rolled over world No. 1 Roger Federer, 6-1, 6-3, 6-0.

The women’s final on Saturday was a bit more entertaining. New world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic defeated the Russian Dinara Safina, younger sister of two-time Grand Slam champion Marat Safin. Ivanovic, meanwhile, became the first woman from Serbia to win a Grand Slam tournament. And with fellow Serb Novak Djokovic winning the Australian Open, Serbia now has two Grand Slam trophies to its credit in 2008. More French Open Results

The two Major Associations are described below

ATP Tour
In 1988 members of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) convened a press conference in the parking lot at the US Open to announce to the world that they were taking over control of the game. The use of the parking lot emphasized the point that they were banned from using on-site facilities by the then ruling body, the Men's Tennis Council. By 1990 a significant number of players as well as tournament directors had signed up.

This has evolved into something that is quite unique in the sporting world, an equal partnership between players and tournament organizers. In January 2001 the ATP Tour name was shortened to ATP.

WTA Tour
The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) went through a similar battle as the ATP to improve the lot of women tennis professionals. Back in 1970, women were being paid only one third of the prize money that men were earning.  

It took a handful of determined players to buck the system and start up their own 3 tournament circuit.
In the following year this grew to 19 tournaments and the rest is history. Equal prize money for men and women's now the standard for international tennis.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF REAL TENNIS

Real Tennis as it is called in Britain, Royal Tennis as it is called in Australia, Court Tennis as it is called in the States, Jeu de Paume as it is called in France or Tennis as it is properly known, is the oldest of all the racket games, and unlike most of the others, such as squash or lawn tennis, it is a product of evolution rather than pure invention.

   The game started to form into something recognizable in the 11th century. It started as hand ball, played by monks around the cloisters of monasteries in Italy and France, much as schoolchildren do in any appropriate corner of their school, and rules varied to suit local whims and conditions. Gradually, as monks traveled to other monasteries, the more enjoyable rules were more generally adopted, the more bizarre rules abandoned and people started to add features to their courtyards that improved the pastime, and demolish or modify others that detracted from it. The monks enjoyed the game so much that the Pope banned the playing of it, and by the 14th century the game had spread from cloister to castle and become a game of the nobility...
