Tennis betting is now a huge business and is becoming more and more popular with punters. The reasons why it has become one of the biggest betting sports is that it is played most of the year round, lots of information about players can be found online and of course when betting on the winner market there can only be two outcomes (no draw of course in tennis).

The main ATP tennis tour consists of weekly events, along with four Grand Slam events. Click the links below to see more information on each of them, and to see betting odds from the major bookmakers.
