Tennis odds makers in Europe have plenty of work during the month of July. There are a plethora of European opens and great tennis betting abounds. And although much of the sportsbook world will be focusing on the North American continent and the US Open preparations, there is plenty of great tennis odds action on the old continent.
Tennis odds fans can go from the Swedish Open the week before the German Open tennis odd action, which runs from July 20th to July 26th. The German Open Hamburg is another one of those refreshing late season clay betting opportunities. As the blue skies of summer and fresh flowers sprout across the northern countries in Europe there could be no better setting for tennis odds action.
The German Open Hamburg is arguably the biggest clay event in tennis odds betting action after the French Open. Although it’s not quite what it once was among (it was downgraded from a Masters Series event to an ATP World 500 tennis event this year) it is still a hugely impressive tennis odds betting opportunity which suffers only from its close proximity to the US Open.
Played outdoors on some of the continents finest clay tennis enthusiasts have been flocking to this event for years. As have top clay court players. Its purse of 1.115 million Euros is the largest of its kind and far outstrips any monetary prizes in Europe for mid-summer. And even though much of the tennis world is watching the US and prep events for the US Open, most of the top players in the world still flock to the German Open tennis odds event.
World number one Raphael Nadal is the defending champ and will certainly be the number one seed in the tennis betting action should he play. Right now his beleaguered knees make him a big question mark for any tennis action, no matter the surface. But if he’s out of commission then world number two Roger Federer will be the number one seed once again. Federer has owned this event over his illustrious sportsbook career winning five titles here and finishing second to Nadal here last year.
If Nadal is less than 100% Federer has to be the favorite. Other players to watch out for are Juan del Potro who is playing especially well and is very tough on clay, and Spaniard Tommy Robredo who seems to thrive in Europe and always feels at home on clay.
