Australian Open betting this year will include Lindsay Davenport, who has not played since last year’s U.S. Open. Davenport lost last year in Australian Open tennis to eventual champion Maria Sharapova in the second round. She has won events in Auckland and Florida recently and is still ranked #35 in the world.
Australian Open odds have Davenport as a definite longshot but anything can happen in Australian Open . Davenport has won three singles Grand Slam titles in her career including an Australian Open singles title in 2000. Davenport will not attract a great deal of attention in Australian Open but could be an interesting longshot. Anytime you can get a former champion at double-digit odds in Australian Open it might be worth considering and that is the case with Davenport.
One player that will get some attention in Australian Open is Jelena Jankovic. She really is working hard to start the year off with a title. “I’m working very hard and that is one of my priorities for 2009, to win a Grand Slam, to start by winning one,” she said. “I believe in myself and I believe my time will come.” Jankovic is the third choice on the Australian Open tennis odds board at 6-1. Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova are the two Australian Open favorites. Venus Williams and Ana Ivanovic are also considered contenders in Australian Open betting odds.
Australian Open tennis gets underway on Monday, January 19, 2009 and concludes on Sunday, February 1st. Australian Open is available on both the men’s and women’s side of the draw. While Sharapova, Williams and Jankovic are the favorites in Australian Open betting on the women’s side, Roger Federer is the Australian Open betting favorite on the men’s side. Unlike previous seasons though, he is not alone with low Australian Open betting odds. Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are considered serious contenders in 2009 Australian Open tennis betting.
Get ready for the 2009 Australian Open and take a look at all of the contenders but don’t ignore longshots like Lindsay Davenport.
