Tennis Odds

Tennis is a dynamic sport with numerous opportunities for odds. Key events include the Grand Slams—Wimbledon, French Open, Australian Open, and US Open—and the ATP Masters 1000 and WTA tour events. The available tennis odds cover both men's and women's tours, providing various options throughout the year.

What are Tennis Odds?

Tennis odds are the numbers you see when you select a tennis market. These values indicate the likelihood of specific outcomes. For example, when players like Djokovic and Nadal face each other, the odds might suggest Djokovic has a 65% chance of winning the match. This indicates that Djokovic is the favorite, while Nadal is the underdog. 

Such lines also tell you the number of coins you can win if your selection is successful. In the American odds format, if a player has odds of -150, you must use 150 coins to win 100 coins. If a player has odds of +150, you'll win 150 coins when using 100 coins.

Types of Tennis Odds

There are various types of tennis lines to choose from. Each type offers different ways to predict match outcomes, from straightforward winner picks to more specific aspects of the game. Here are the main available options: 

Point Spreads/Handicaps

Tennis spreads, or handicaps, focus on the margin of victory in games or sets. They offer a unique way of covering matches because you don’t pick the winner. Instead, you’re more concerned by the number of points a player wins or loses. Consider the following market: 

• Erler A/Miedler L +1.5 (-250)
• Skupski N/Venus M -1.5 (+145)

In the example above, the tennis spread is 1.5, while the numbers following are the odds. Based on the odds, the first team is the favorite (because of the negative sign in front of its odds). That means they must win by at least two sets for your selection to be successful. 

On the other hand, the second team is the least favored (evident by the positive sign in front of its odds). It means they must win the game outright or lose by only one set for their selection to win. 

Moneyline

While tennis spreads focus on the victory margin, moneylines deal with the winner. Tennis moneylines can be set for the player who will emerge victorious after a set, not the entire game. In this case, you’ll see markets like:

First set winner
Shelton, Ben -234		Mpetshi Perricard, Giovanni +190

 

Second set winner
Shelton, Ben -200	Mpetshi Perricard, Giovanni +150

 

Besides focusing on set winners, moneylines also cover the player who will win the entire game. For instance, Giovanni might win the first set, while Ben wins the remaining two. If you select Ben to win the first set and the entire game, only your pick on the entire game will win. That’s because Ben lost the first set but won the match. 

Total (Over/Under) Lines

Total lines in tennis focus on the combined number of games or sets in a match. This time, it doesn't matter which player or team wins the set or match; instead, you focus on the final score. For example, the total games might be 22.5 in a best-of-three match. If the match ends 6-4, 7-5, the total games played would be 22 (under), but if it ends 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, the total would be 33 games (over). The odds can look like:

• Over 22.5 games (-110)
• Under 22.5 games (-110)

Correct Score

This tennis market revolves around predicting the exact final set score of the match. In best-of-three matches, you can pick scores of 2-0, 2-1, 1-2, or 0-2. For best-of-five matches (like men's Grand Slam matches), possible scores expand to 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, 2-3, 1-3, or 0-3. For example:

• Swiatek to win 2-0: +130
• Swiatek to win 2-1: +200
• Opponent to win 2-0: +600
• Opponent to win 2-1: +450

Winner & Total

This combination merges a match-winner prediction with the total games (over/under). You must correctly predict both outcomes to win. For instance, a market might be "Shelton to win and Over 22.5 games" at +170. This means you need:

1. Shelton to win the match
2. The total games played to exceed 22

If Shelton loses or the total games are 22 or fewer, the pick is unsuccessful.

How to Understand Tennis Odds, Lines, and Spreads

Numerous variables shape tennis odds. Understanding these factors helps you make better decisions when following tennis markets, whether for WTA odds or ATP competitions. 

Player Form and Rankings

A player's recent performance often matters more than their overall ranking. While rankings provide a general guideline, their current form—including recent tournament results, wins against top opponents, and performance on similar surfaces—heavily influences the odds. We particularly focus on players' last 4-6 tournaments to gauge their current level and momentum.

Surface Expertise

Different players perform better on different surfaces. Hard courts produce the most consistent odds as they're considered the most neutral surface. Meanwhile, those who do better on clay court might have favorable odds at Roland Garros but longer odds at Wimbledon. When analyzing lines for clay or grass court tournaments, we always factor in the player's past performances on these surfaces.

Physical Condition

Injury history and recovery time between matches also impact tennis lines. Most times, players returning from injuries have lower winning chances until they prove they are fit. Likewise, recovery time becomes important in tournaments with back-to-back matches, especially in Grand Slams, where men play best-of-five sets. 

Playing Style

Another factor determining the lines in a tennis match is the players' style. Some players' styles match up well against certain opponents, regardless of rankings. That's why you might see a lower-ranked player with odds close to those of a higher-ranked opponent. This is particularly evident in ATP odds, where playing styles can create unexpected dynamics and change the numbers. 

Best Tennis Odds Strategies

 

1. Monitor Early Line Movement: Opening odds often provide the best value, especially for major events. These lines will change as the tournament draws closer and starts. It's usually ideal to pick odds early, especially for long-term selections. This way, you can make the most of higher odds. 
2. Claim Welcome and Tournament Bonuses: Take advantage of promotions, particularly during major tennis events. We offer enhanced odds, odds boosts, and free coins during tournaments like Wimbledon or the US Open. Claiming these promotions boosts your coin balance, giving you more coins to make selections. 
3. Time Your Live Selections: When making live predictions, watch for key moments that can improve the odds. Make your picks once these odds improve. This way, you get more coins if your selection wins.

FAQ

How are tennis odds set for Grand Slam events?

Tennis odds for Grand Slams are set after considering multiple factors. We first evaluate recent player performance, particularly on the specific surface (clay for Roland Garros, grass for Wimbledon). Then, we factor in head-to-head records, player rankings, historical performances, and current form. The odds are further adjusted based on tournament conditions and injury reports.

What factors should I consider when analyzing tennis totals (over/under)?

When analyzing tennis totals, start by checking the playing styles of both competitors. For instance, aggressive baseliners create longer rallies than serve-and-volley players. The court surface also affects how long a game will last, with clay courts generally resulting in more games. 

How do weather conditions influence tennis odds and spreads?

Weather conditions can affect tennis odds and spreads, particularly in outdoor tournaments. For example, wind impacts how well players serve and the ball's movement, leading to higher game totals. As a result, some players perform better during specific conditions than others.
