Bet on the WTA tournament in Birmingham

The Rothesay Classic Birmingham takes place in England's second-largest city and is considered a sister tournament to the Queen's tournament. The WTA tournament is a good warm-up for Wimbledon. Make bets on the Queens on our online sports betting platform.

This women's tennis tournament is usually the first WTA tournament of the season outdoors, on grass. Players who have had an early exit from the French Open tend to participate in this event to make the transition between the two surfaces as quickly as possible.

For women's tennis organizers, this tournament hosted in Birmingham, while prestigious, has not yet been made mandatory for players.

Recommended betting on women's tennis in Birmingham

The outdoor grass surface is the opposite of clay in that it is the fastest surface in tennis. The slippery surface allows the ball to generate speed, and the softness of the grass creates a lower bounce, keeping the ball closer to the ground, making service returns even more tricky. Grass tennis courts favour big serves and players who like to close into the net to play volleys.

In recent editions, it has often been players with a wide attacking range (Jabeur in 2021 or Barty in 2019) who have won the tournament, or those with a powerful serve like Kvitova in 2017 and 2018 or Keys in 2016. For recommended bets, bet on players with a big ball strike and ones who compete well in long rallies at a high pace.

Betting on the grass court season in women's tennis

After the French Open Grand Slam tournament, the start of the grass court season is coming up. In parallel to the tournament in Birmingham, there is also a WTA 250 tournament held in Nottingham.

The following week, there will be two WTA 500 tournaments in Berlin and Eastbourne, respectively. The majority of players decide to stay several weeks in the UK before the biggest event of the season.

The expected moment with the bets on Wimbledon for women arrives thereafter. It's called The Championship, or simply Wimbledon, and this Grand Slam is the only one that is played on grass.
