Betting on the Australian Open Women

Extreme temperatures are often in the news during the Australian Open. That's why Australian Grand Slam takes place in the Antipodean winter. It's too dangerous to play in the height of summer in Melbourne.

In recent years, Tennis Australia has put in place a series of measures to deal with the impact of hot weather on players, as well as tournament officials and spectators, by introducing a "heat stress scale."

The heat stress scale mandates responses, such as cooling players with ice vests and baths, and suspending matches depending on local weather conditions.

The women's semifinals will no longer be played on Thursday afternoon but instead, during the night session, while the men's semifinals of the Australian Open will be split between Thursday and Friday nights.

Women's tennis betting

As we celebrate 100 years of women's competition at the Australian Open, tennis is one of the few sports in the world in which the men and women that take part earn the same prize money and have equal exposure.

Not only are we incredibly fortunate to have great athletes in women's tennis, but also amazing personalities and role models. The list of inspiring women in tennis is delightfully long.

Bet on the winner of the women's tournament

Women's tennis matches are played to the best of three sets in all of the Grand Slam tournaments - the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. The match winner is the first to win six games by two clear games also six games while once the score reaches 6 games all, a tie-break comes into play

While watching tennis players at WTA and Grand Slam tournaments over the past 10 years or so, we've seen top-ranked players losing in the first round or even in the final, which shows the inconsistency in women's tennis. For more than a decade, no winner has been able to retain her title.

Inconsistency has been the main problem for new players who manage to turn matches in their favour, regardless of their experience. Most were unable to reach their full potential, with injuries also playing a key role, hindering their recovery to play in the WTA tournament in preparation for the grand slam.
