Tennis betting on the BNP Paribas Masters should be exciting as it is the final event of the regular season.The tournament, which gets underway in the second week of November, should provide some interesting choices for those that bet on tennis.
Tennis is likely to favor Roger Federer in this event. This tourney is the ninth one in the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 series and the last one in which players can qualify for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Although Federer is the likely tennis favorite, he has not had a great deal of success in this tournament. He lost in the quarter-finals in 2002, 2003 and he lost in the quarters last year.
Tennis should also be popular on World #4 Andy Murray. He has also lost in the quarterfinals of this event twice. He lost in tennis in 2007 and in 2008. Another tennis betting contender should be Nikolay Davydenko who won this event three years ago. He has a 12-5 record in this tournament.
There will be some who bet on tennis that will look at last year’s champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He was the tennis betting winner at the BNP Paribas Masters a year ago. Last year he won in tennis betting as he defeated defending champion David Nalbandian 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
Not to be left out among tennis betting favorites is World #2 Rafael Nadal who likely draw a lot of wagers. Juan Martin Del Potro will be another tennis betting choice in this tournament as will Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick.
The BNP Paribas Masters has been around since 1986 although it was called the Open de Paris until 2002. It is the final major of the season and will be the last chance for players to get into the ATP World Tour Finals to be held in London later this month. Two players have won this tennis betting event three times. Boris Becker and Marat Safin won this bet on tennis tourney a total of three times.
One of the tournament officials sounded very optimistic about the field for this tournament saying, “The fact that Roger Federer has not participated in the Asian tour is a good sign for the tournament. Rafael Nadal has no plans to play the previous week.” It should be a very exciting tournament for those that bet on tennis.
