Tennis Betting – Dubai Tennis Championships at SBG Global

Gamblers that bet on tennis will probably be looking to World #1 Rafael Nadal as their main tennis betting choice. Tennis betting odds for the Dubai Tennis Championships will not include former #1 Roger Federer. He had to withdraw due to injury. That could open up the tournament for other players. Nadal will be the tennis betting favorite but he is no lock to win. He has not made it past the quarterfinals in three previous appearances in the Dubai Tennis Championships and gamblers that bet on tennis need to keep that in mind.

A player to watch in tennis betting odds for this event could be Fernando Verdasco. He made it to the semifinals of the Australian Open before losing to Nadal. That tennis betting match was one of the best of the tournament as it went five sets before Nadal eventually won for gamblers who bet on tennis. Last year Verdasco didn’t make it out of the second round in Dubai, losing to Andy Murray in three sets in tennis betting results. He had a very nice 2008 and has started off 2009 very well in tennis betting and has moved up to #9 in the world rankings. “Fernando Verdasco is an exciting player who burst onto the public’s radar with that scintillating match against Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open. It will be intriguing to see whether he can continue that truly sensational display of top class tennis when he arrives in Dubai,” said Colm McCloughlin, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free, the owners of this tournament.

Other players that will get attention from gamblers who bet on tennis in this tournament are defending champion Andy Roddick, world #3 Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

The Dubai Tennis Championships on the men’s side begin on Monday February 23rd for tennis betting gamblers and concludes on Saturday, February 28th.

This could be the last year gamblers see tennis betting odds from Dubai. It has been an exciting tennis betting tournament in the past but there is a very real chance it will not return next year. Israel's Shahar Pe’er was denied entry into the United Arab Emirates and now it looks like doubles player Andy Ram will also be denied a visa. The WTA and ATP have said that they are ready to pull out of the Dubai Tennis Championships although this year’s event will be played.
