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.

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

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.
