Markets explained
Which tennis markets can I bet on?
These six are available on most matches. Grand Slam matches often carry extra lines, such as total sets and player games.
Set betting
Call the exact set score, such as 2-0 or 2-1. It's harder to get right than the match winner, so it pays more.
Total games
Over or under a line for the number of games in the match. Tie-breaks and long, close sets push the total up.
Game handicap
The underdog gets a head start of a few games. Backing the favourite on a handicap gets you a better price than the plain match winner.
First set winner
Who takes the first set. It settles early, and it suits players known for fast starts.
Live game winner
Who wins the next game. Prices swing hard on break points, so this market moves faster than any other.
Surfaces
How does the court surface affect tennis betting?
Clay is slow and rewards players who can grind out long rallies. Grass is quick and suits big servers. Hard courts sit in between. A player's record on the surface often tells you more than their overall ranking.
| Surface | Speed | Suits | Big events |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard | Medium | All-round players | Australian Open, US Open, ATP Finals |
| Clay | Slow | Baseliners with stamina and heavy topspin | Roland Garros, Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome |
| Grass | Fast | Big servers and net players | Wimbledon, Queen's, Halle |

What happens to my bet if a player retires?
It depends on when it happens. If at least one full set has been completed, the player who goes through counts as the winner. If the player retires before the first set is finished, match winner bets are void and your stake comes back. Set and game markets that were already decided stand either way. If you're unsure about a match with an injury, ask support before you bet.
How tennis bets settleIn-play
Why is tennis good for live betting?
The price moves with every point. Markets usually lock while a point is being played and reopen between points, so there's a short window to get your bet on.
First-serve percentage
A player landing fewer first serves is likely to face more break points.
Medical timeouts
A timeout can point to an injury, and an injury raises the chance of a retirement.
Tie-breaks
A tie-break can go either way, so prices swing more than in any other part of a set.
Weather
Wind, heat and rain delays all affect players and can change the flow of a match.
