The tennis odds for the 2009 ATP AEGON Championships will feature some of the top names in tennis as they prepare themselves for Wimbledon. As veterans of the tennis betting odds know, this event is often considered the biggest grass court event after Wimbledon, so it attracts an excellent group of elite players. Bettors analyzing the tennis for the 2009 tournament will want to decide between wagering on the tennis for the sport’s number one player and wagering on the tennis odds for a pair of players who have dominated the tournament over the past decade.
The tennis for the ATP AEGON will likely favor Rafael Nadal, who is the world’s number one player and has taken the tennis world by storm. Many gamblers enjoy supporting Nadal in the tennis betting odds because they know he will never give up on a point, much less a match. Moreover, Nadal won this tournament just last year and there is nothing to indicate he will not repeat in 2009. Nevertheless, when assessing the tennis betting odds for this particular event one must remember that grass is Nadal’s worst surface. Nadal has been working hard on his grass game, but on grass he still is nothing like the player he is on clay. Therefore, sports betting fans should be more hesitant about his tennis for this tournament than his tennis odds at the sportsbook for virtually any other tournament.
Rather than instinctively wagering on the tennis of Nadal in the ATP AEGON Championships, bettors should strongly consider wagering on the tennis of Andy Roddick and/or Lleyton Hewitt. These two players have extremely powerful serves and they perform well on grass. Moreover, veterans of the tennis know that these two players have completely dominated this event over the last decade. Each one has won the tournament four times, with Roddick last winning in 2007 and Hewitt in 2006.
Due to their past success in the event, the tennis betting odds for these two players will not offer the large payouts they may receive in other events, yet one can be confident that both players are capable of hoisting the trophy. Moreover, one should always consider wagering on the tennis of an even greater underdog who could surprise the tennis world by winning the event. James Blake, for example, is a very capable player who made it to the final match in 2006. By wagering on the tennis odds of a player like Blake one can ensure a very large payout if the player gets on a winning streak and ends up winning the trophy.
