Grand Slams

The tennis calendar is bustling with events throughout the year, so there are always plenty of opportunities to place a bet. It’s the four Grand Slam tournaments that bring the most attention though, spanning three continents and consistently producing unforgettable moments.

Australian Open

The Australian Open takes place in Melbourne every January. Played on a hardcourt surface since 1988, the tournament dates back to 1905. Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka are the defending champions — Djokovic has a record 10 titles in Melbourne while Sabalenka’s triumph was her first in the competition. In the UK, you can watch wall-to-wall coverage of the Australian Open on Eurosport 1 and 2.

French Open

The French Open is a clay-court tournament played at Roland-Garros in Paris. Rafael Nadal has dominated the event in recent history, amassing a record 14 French Open titles. UK viewers can tune into Roland-Garros on Eurosport 1 and 2, with the 2023 tournament running from May 22 to June 11. With Nadal unable to take part this year due to injury, there’s space for a first-time champion to step up in the men’s singles. In the women’s singles, Iga Świątek is the defending champion, winning her second French Open crown in 2022.

Wimbledon

The oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world takes place in Wimbledon, London each year in late June and early July. Dating back to 1877, Wimbledon is played on grass courts and has served up many iconic moments for British tennis fans. Andy Murray’s wins in 2013 and 2016 live long in the memory, but Roger Federer has the record number of Wimbledon titles with eight. Federer came close to collecting a ninth title in 2019, only to be narrowly beaten by Novak Djokovic, who himself has claimed seven titles, winning four of the past five tournaments. Fans can watch every match at Wimbledon 2023 on the BBC and iPlayer — the defending champions are Djokovic and Elena Rybakina.

US Open

The US Open is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, taking place in late August and early September in Queens, New York and played on a hard court. British player Emma Raducanu served up one of the most memorable moments in the history of the US Open when she won the 2021 edition aged just 18, notably without losing a single set during the entire tournament. This victory also made Raducanu the first singles qualifier in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam title. The most recent winners of the US Open are Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Świątek. Having signed a new five-year deal last year, Sky Sports will be broadcasting a minimum of 135 hours of matches during the next two-week tournament.

Tennis Betting Markets

Tennis betting sites offer a wide range of markets for all the tournament matches. Here’s a list of the most common types of bets you can place.

• Match Betting – Betting on which player will win an individual match.
• Set Betting – Betting on a player to win a single set.
• Total Sets – How many sets will be played in a match in total.
• Set Correct Score – Betting on the correct score of a single set.
• Set Handicap – Betting on a player to win a set with a handicap applied. A handicap of 2.5+ would give that player a 2.5 head start in games.
• Total Games – Predicting the total number of games to be played in a match.
• Win Match & Both Players to Win a Set – Picking a player to win a match, with the betting winning if both players win a set.
• Outrights – Betting on a single player to win the whole tournament.
• Each-Way – Two separate bets with equal stakes rolled into one. One bet is on the player to win and the other is on that player to place, which usually refers to them reaching the final.

Paddy Power

Paddy Power offers an excellent range of tennis betting markets, clearly organised by competition, in-play markets, popular bets, and accas.

Boosted bet builders are regularly listed so you can easily pick out an exciting selection at a great price — for example in Cameron Norrie’s match against David Goffin at the Lyon Open, you could get Norrie to win the match, win set one, and get 5+ aces at 7/4, boosted from 13/8. If you’d rather browse for yourself, simply scroll through the featured matches or use the outrights tab to view the latest tournaments. Under offers you’ll find a whopping 70% tennis accumulator bonus when you place a pre-match acca on To Win Match, First Set Winner and Set Betting markets.
