Tennis Betting Tips

By Jarin Ahmed | ⏲️ Reading time: 13 minutes

In the following text, we will discuss how we create our ongoing tennis predictions. We examine the upcoming tournaments and matches from around the world to give you the best available predictions with the best odds at sportsbooks that are available to bettors in Malaysia.

Tennis is a sport that is popular all over the world and incorporates a World Tour that reflects this, including venues and players gathered from all over the globe. Almost every tournament follows a flat-seeded knockout draw, and the women’s and men's tournaments run concurrently with each other. Tennis is well supported and you can find odds on a sportsbook that let you bet on tennis virtually all year round.

Why You Can Trust Our Tennis Predictions

We put a lot into creating our tennis tips and predictions. We thoroughly research every aspect of a fixture, analysing everything that can play a part in how a game might pan out.

We always look into current form, head-to-head results and court surface. We also analyse where the betting value lies across a range of markets and which betting website that operates in Malaysia holds the most competitive odds.

While sadly there is of course no guarantee of success when you are gambling, we take pride in the fact that we have researched and analysed every possible factor that may have an impact on how a tennis match finishes.

What We Base Our Tennis Predictions On

All relevant factors will be studied when making a decision on the outcome of any upcoming match or chosen market. This will include form, injury status, surface, player seeding and head-to-head victories. We will now look over each aspect in more detail to give you a full idea of how we make our tips.

  • 1

    Current Form

    Form is vital to a player's performance and the further they progress through tournaments the more they gain match sharpness for their next competition. Winning breeds confidence when you are playing for crucial points in matches. Players build momentum over the season and it is often the ones that are in the best form that perform better in the biggest tournaments, such as the grand slams. Changes of surface are also important and it is good to look at players’ form in smaller tournaments as the season on each surface is ongoing, which shows how well they are playing on that surface.

    Recent Injuries and Physical Wear

    Injuries are a constant in many tennis players' careers. With so many matches to play, wear and tear can easily affect bodies. Some playing styles lend themselves to more regular injury concerns than others. For instance, baseliners will take a lot more strain on their knees, while big serving players find that shoulder injuries are a constant issue. To be fair, many players continue with niggling injuries, and it is a good idea to assess their current health during and before a competition. Sometimes players will have to quit during a match as well giving a direct win to their opponent.

    Court Surface (Clay, Grass, Hard Court, Indoor)

    The very best players can play and win on every surface. However, certain competitors will perform better on certain courts than others. Gustavo Kuerten for instance, won 3 French Open titles and was world number one for 43 weeks, yet never got further than a quarter final in the other 3 grand slams. Elsewhere Martina Navratilova won 9 singles and 17 doubles titles at Wimbledon on grass and Nadal 14 French Opens on Clay.

    So it is important to think about what surface best suits certain types of players. Clay is a slower surface, giving it a higher bounce, and this means that baseliners prefer it. Hard courts are similar, but they play slightly quicker. Grass courts are much faster than hard or clay courts and this suits players whose tactics are based on serves and volleys. Indoor conditions favour big servers, with the removal of windy conditions.

    Head-to-Head History

    With individual sports like tennis, players can find certain others better or harder to play against, whilst this creates healthy rivalries when honours are even. And yet they can otherwise leave certain players fearing or looking forward to facing other opponents.

    For instance Novak Djokovic holds a 20-0 win record over Gael Monfils, whilst Roger Federer finished his career with 17-0 head to head wins over both David Ferrer and Mikhail Youzhny. While most head to head records are not as one sided it illustrates how certain players can struggle consistently against the same opponent.

    Odds Value in Betting Markets

    Odds are much like finding the best price for goods in a shop. Apart from that in this case the higher the odds the better rather than when you look for lower prices when you are shopping! When we make a prediction we are looking to find the best odds for our tip. This can be on the match winner market, however tennis offers numerous proposition markets for bettors and these are often the best ones to find a value bet. A value bet in the industry is known as one where you gain slightly better odds than the true odds of an event happening.

Types of Tennis Predictions You will Find

A good reason that makes tennis betting so popular is the amount of markets that can be found for both major and minor tournaments. You will find a large amount of ways to wager at the majority of online bookmakers, giving you plenty of opportunities to find value. We will cover these below in our predictions.

🎾 Match Winner Bets

The most common market to bet on in tennis is a match winner, it is the easiest one to understand as it is very simple. The bet entails who you believe will win the match. For example Carlos Alcaraz is playing Jannik Sinner. You back Carlos Alcaraz to win and if he does you win your bet.

📊 Set and Game Predictions (Over/Under)

You can bet on set and game markets which often provide more value than a match winner bet. You can bet on a few various ones with these types of bets and some are not tied to the match result. You can bet on over/under markets on how many sets will be played or how many games will take place. With these different forms of betting, you are wagering whether there will be over or under a specified amount played across the match.

You can also wager how many specific sets are played, Final Set Score, Final Game Score and there are also Race To markets.

⚖️ Handicap Bets

A smart way to bet can be when you include a handicap when you place a wager. Handicap bets include several variants that include Match Set Score Handicap and Total Games Handicap.

By placing a handicap on a favourite, or giving an underdog a pre-match advantage you can increase the odds on your expected result.

Lets look at that in practice using Carlos Alvarez vs Dan Evans as an example, let’s say we think Alvarez will win relatively easily. We can add a -4.5 Handicap Total Games bet. For this wager to be a winner, we will need Alvarez to win by 5 or more Games.

Our predictions will cover a range of tennis Handicap betting tips throughout the season for major and minor tournaments.

🏆 Long-Term Bets (Tournament Winner)

Outright tournament winner bets are widely placed and are often ones that bookmakers include promotions for especially during Grand Slams. With large sums placed on the biggest competitions, sportsbooks want to do everything they can to encourage you to spend your money there. You can use odds boosts and promotions to your advantage.

Tournament winner bets are simply a bet on which player you believe will win the contest.

You can also improve odds by betting early and the best tennis betting sites will offer odds long in advance of the tournament start.

🔥 Live Tennis Betting

Tennis lends itself well to in-play bets with a large number of markets available including next set winner and even next point! Live bets can sometimes help you cover pre-match bets or add excitement to a game you are watching or streaming live.

Our predictions will usually not cover in-play bets due to time restrictions on this type of wager.

Tips on How to Make Tennis Predictions

When you are making predictions for any sporting event proper research is often the key to doing this successfully. We will do this for you in the major tournaments we have mentioned when we make our tips, however below we will set out some guidance on what to think about when you are on your own and evaluating an upcoming match or tournament.

  • Analyze Player Results
    Form is temporary and class is permanent that is true, but it can mean a player will get a result against one ranked higher in a match if they are experiencing a purple patch. Check both players' current results.
  • Evaluate the Tournament Seedings
    The way a tournament draw falls can have a big impact on who wins the competition. Despite the top 32 being seeded there are many top players who can cause upsets and it is worth looking at a players path to a final and thinking about who they may need to beat. Players with a potentially easier path gain an advantage in terms of less court time and higher likelihood of getting to the required stage.
  • Check the Surface
    As we have said players perform better on certain surfaces, keep this in mind when you are evaluating a match or tournament outcome. Players are not seeded based on their ability on a certain surface anymore so you can sometimes see the higher ranked player as a potential underdog.
  • Read Tennis News
    Keeping abreast of tennis news helps you know what is going on in the tennis world. Off court issues can affect on court performance quite drastically, as can niggling injuries.
  • Study Head to Head Records
    We have discussed how some players can dominate others regularly and how this can affect pre-match mindsets. Have a look to see who wins the most in match ups between the players and any patterns that might form. For instance does one player win in 5 sets matches against the other or on a particular court surface.

FAQ. Frequently Asked Questions

  • 💡 Do rankings matter in tennis predictions?

    Yes and no, a higher ranking does mean the player is rated higher than an opponent, however it does not necessarily mean they will beat a lower ranked opponent. Rankings are based on a rolling 52 week period, so check form, injuries and other factors as well.

  • 💡 Can You Make Money betting on Tennis?

    Of course you can make profit betting on tennis, but it is just as easy to make losses. Even the best predictions can go wrong. Make sure you use responsible gambling tools and stick to your bankroll limits to keep your gambling in check.

  • 💡 What Surfaces is Tennis Played on?

    The surfaces used in professional tennis tournaments are hard courts (acrylic on concrete or asphalt), clay courts, and grass courts. Indoor courts in tournaments are usually hard courts but are affected by different atmospheric playing conditions.

  • 💡 When was Tennis Invented?

    Tennis started back in the 12th century, but was very different, this form of tennis is now called real tennis and still played on a small scale. Modern (or Lawn) Tennis is the game we know today and it was invented in 1873 by Major Walter Clopton.
