Tennis betting this week is highlighted by the Open 13 de Marseille as Robin Soderling is the top seed. It should be a competitive tournament even without World #3 Andy Murray who decided not to play. Tennis odds will have Soderling as one of the favorites along with second seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Tennis has Gael Monfils the third seed at the Open 13 de Marseille with Tommy Robredo seeded fourth. Each of the top four seeds gets a bye into the second round of the tournament. Andy Murray would have been the top seed but he decided that his loss in the Australian Open has taken more out of him than expected. “After playing in Australia for five weeks, Andy has taken an extra week off to recuperate and recover for the long season ahead,” Murray’s agent said. Another defection to the tournament in tennis odds was Juan Martin del Potro.
Soderling is one of the main contenders, especially since he could have won this tournament in 2004. Tsonga is going to get a lot of attention in tennis odds as well since he is the defending champ. The fifth seed in this tennis event is Gilles Simon who is beginning his 2010 season at Marseille. He missed the Australian Open because of a knee issue but Simon says he is ready to go now. The predicted final though would be a matchup of Soderling against Tsonga and that would be a competitive match.
Also on the board this week in tennis is the ATP Regions Morgan Keegan Championship where Andy Roddick is the top seed. It is not a deep tournament of talent though in tennis odds with Fernando Verdasco the second seed, Radek Stepanek the third seed and Tommy Haas the fourth seed.
The women are also playing the Morgan Keegan Championship where Maria Sharapova is the top seed. She will look to bounce back from her Australian Open disaster in tennis betting. She should be a solid favorite in tennis considering the second seed in the tournament is Melanie Oudin. The other women’s tournament this tennis week is the Copa Sony Ericsson Colsanitas where Gisela Dulko is the top seed.
Tennis choices include odds to win the tournaments and once the events get down to the quarterfinals, matchups are likely to be on the board.
