The Australian Open Men competition is played from mid-January in Melbourne Park, Australia.

It is the first event of the year and the opening Grand Slam tournament of the season. To bet on tennis before the Australian Open, there are a few options: an ATP Cup that will take place from the beginning of January, followed by several ATP 250 tournaments in Australia and New Zealand. These tournaments are all held under the same conditions, on outdoor hard courts. This facilitates better acclimatization.

Betting on men's tennis

In terms of form, there won't be many references to check on before the start of the competition. As it is the start of the season, it is more difficult in the early rounds to know which player will go far in the Australian tournaments depending on who has managed to work off in the off-season lull to reach peak form from the outset.

Tennis players can't remain physically at their best for the whole season when there are ATP tennis tournaments for almost eleven months of the year. Make bets on ATP tennis tournaments with bwin.

Bet on the 1st Grand Slam of the season

In terms of courts, the first Grand Slam of the season is played at the Rod Laver Arena - on the largest court, which hosts the finals as well as most of the top-seeded matches.

Nearby, the Margaret Court Arena also hosts some of the biggest matches, while the Melbourne Arena is known as the flashiest court in Melbourne Park.

The winner of the tournament takes home the Norman Brookes Trophy. The Serbian, Novak Djokovic, has had incredible success in Melbourne throughout his career. It was here that he achieved his first Grand Slam victory in 2008, and many more Australian Open titles have followed since, including three consecutive opens between 2011 and 2013, and then again in 2018, 2019 and 2020 tournaments.

Betting on the Men's Australian Open

Most of the players in the top 100 of the ATP rankings will be competing in the Australian Open.

In all Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open), the men play the best of five sets, which means that players need to win three sets to take the match.

The next Grand Slam event will be in Paris. You can place your bets on the men's French Open on our online sports betting platform.
