One of the Tennis favorites will not be part of the event as Marat Safin withdrew. Former Grand Slam champion Lleyton Hewitt and Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis are the leading tennis top favorites in the event.
Germany’s Nicolas Kiefer, ranked #131 in the word, was awarded a wild card into the singles main draw and could be an interesting tennis choice. India’s top player Rohan Bopanna and fellow countryman Somdev Dev Varman were given the other two wild cards for the tournament but will not be tennis betting favorites this week. Kiefer was a semi-finalist at last year’s Australian Open and will likely be one of the tennis odds favorites this week.
For your tennis betting you should be aware that the Mumbai Open has been upgraded from $375,000 to US $416,000. Also in the field as possible tennis betting favorites are #13 Richard Gasquet of France, #26 Jarkko Niemenen of Finland, #55 Olivier Rochus of Belgium and veteran Frenchman Fabrice Santoro who is ranked #43 in the world. Tennis fans know that the Mumbai Open is scheduled right after the Davis Cup weekend and goes up against the Thailand Open, which has higher prize-money so that is something for tennis betting lovers to keep in mind. “We really cannot do anything about the timing because the ATP calendar is full and planned well in advance,” said Kingfisher Airlines Chairman and CEO Vijay Mallya, whose company is the title sponsor for the first three years.
