Tennis - Some Prop Predictions on PartyBets Markets

Well as always there is plenty of tennis to have a crack at this week as we start the lead up towards the French Open.

The men are in Dubai which is apparently one of the nicest places for pro tennis players to have a game whilst enjoying the finer things in life. The field is very tough even with the early exit of Federer with Djokovic, Murray, Roddick and Nadal left in the draw which should see some good betting in the later rounds. Even though Nadal was well below par in the first round he could easily win this tournament. I like him head to head against Roddick in the quarters and look to have a little on him straight out.

The ladies are over in Bangalore in what will be a hot and sweaty affair. I think in a weak field Serena Williams is certainly over due and for her to go all the way in this tournament.

There are some very interesting bets at Partybets.com under the tennis specials. They have a market on how many majors Djokovic, Henin and Sharapova will win. I like the price for Henin not to win a major at all at $3.25. Then you can have a dig at Sharapova to win 2 or 3 at $2.50 and $7.00. Women's tennis is very strong at the moment with 8-10 realistic chances in every tournament and a host of Eastern Europeans that are capable of coming out of nowhere.

The Djokovic bet is a lot harder as we don't know what Federer is going to do. I would be banking on Djokovic to win one more which is at $3.00. Anyway these are some interesting markets that will give you plenty to think about leading up to the second grand slam of the year.
