Grand Slam Tennis Betting

Grand Slam tennis betting action involves futures bets on which players will win the tournaments and individual matchups.  In the sport of tennis the major tournaments are what players try to win.  That would be winning all four major titles in the same year.  If a player wins all four major tennis titles in a row, but they are not in the same calendar year then it is called a non-calendar year Grand Slam. If a player wins all four Grand Slam titles at some point in his or her career, even if they are not in a row, it is called a Career Grand Slam.

There have been very few winners of the true “Grand Slam.”  That is where a player wins all four tournaments in the same year.  On the men’s side only two players ever did it.  Rod Laver did it twice, in 1962 and in 1969.  Don Budge did it in 1938.  On the women’s side only three players have ever done it. Maureen Connolly won it in 1953.  Margaret Smith Court won it in 1970 and Steffi Graf won it in 1988.

There is no doubt that the four Grand Slam tournaments are the most important tennis betting events of the year.  They attract the most attention and the most interest from gamblers around the world. In tennis history there have not been many Grand Slam winners.  We listed the calendar year ones earlier. There are only five men’s players that have won all of the Grand Slam events and have the career Grand Slam. They are Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson and Andre Agassi.  On the women’s side there are a few more.  The winners of the Career Grand Slam are Maureen Connolly Brinker, Doris Hart, Shirley Fry Irvin, Margaret Smith Court, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams.

Take a look at the many different options as you look to bet tennis this season and remember to look at the big tournaments.  They are where the best players in the world have their focus and where the tennis is the most exciting.
