2012 Men's Australian Open – Bet on Murray and Tsonga says Wiki Tennis

By Valuechecker on 16/01/2012 12:48

This seasons first Grand Slam event the Australian Open will take place in Melbourne, Australia between the 16th and 29th January and the bookmakers are universal in their decision to make Novak Djokovic a warm favourite to walk away with the Men's Title.

Should you wish to back Novak Djokovic then Ladbrokes currently offer the best odds of 2.38 on the four-time Grand Slam winner making it number five.

According to some recent Wiki postings though things may not be that straight forward with both Andy Murray and Jo Wilfried Tsonga expected to give the Serbian plenty to think about over the next fortnight.

One ValueChecker Wiki points to the fact that Andy Murray has been beaten in two finals here before and that this tournament probably boasts his best chance of finally landing that elusive first major title, while another suggests that Jo Wilfried Tsonga also has what it takes to walk away with the crown and at vastly better odds.

Andy Murray can be backed at 6.00 with Boylesports, while Jo Wilfried Tsonga is available at 21.00 with the same firm plus Stan James and Victor Chandler.

Of the top four seeds it appears Rafael Nadal would have the least chance of winning both according to our wikis and the latest betting odds. The Spaniard has been on the drift recently and as pointed out in a wiki posting doesn't have the best record here apart from his one outright victory in 2009. If you disagree then Victor Chandler would be the place to visit to back Nadal at 8.00.

Of the others well you can never write off Roger Federer although his followers will be worried by a recent back problem that he picked up playing in the Qatar Open. Should he be able to play at one hundred percent then the 5.00 available with Paddy Power, Stan James and Allyoubet would look extremely generous.

Remember if you have any facts/figures or information on any of the leading Tennis stars that you think could help your fellow betting pals to beat the bookmakers then why not post a wiki on ValueChecker it really is quite simple.
