Australian Open: bet online on the first Grand Slam of the tennis season

This is the true starting point of the tennis season. The moment when the hearts of tennis fans in Belgium beat a little faster, while fatigue slowly builds up.

With the first Grand Slam on the calendar, fans also have to deal with the time difference and sleepless nights if they want to place live bets.

And for good reason: the Australian Open takes place in Melbourne. There is a 9-hour time difference between Australia and Belgium.

No Belgians left in the tournament

That won’t stop your favourite Belgian betting site, Golden Vegas Sport, from staying awake to bring you all the key storylines. So your tennis bets have the best possible chance of winning.

Despite the absence of Belgian players. Alexander Blockx lost, Zizou Bergs was beaten by Hubert Hurkacz, and Raphaël Collignon was forced to retire. As for David Goffin, he has completely disappeared from the radar.

So which matches should you watch today? Jannik Sinner against James Duckworth, the local favourite. The Italian, who previously triumphed at Wimbledon, will be looking to do it again. This is not the hardest tennis prediction to make, with odds set at 1.01.

Will Ruud ruin your online bet?

Among the tournament’s outsiders, Casper Ruud is one of the players who could realistically reach the semi-finals. However, we would advise against placing a sports bet on him.

Due to an injury or poor form? Not at all. The Norwegian is expecting his first child. The birth is scheduled before the end of the tournament. Will he even play against Jaume Munar?

“If my wife calls and she goes into labour, I probably won’t be here the next day. That’s just how it is. There are more important things in life.”

Belgian bookmakers back Gauff

In the women’s draw, everything is wide open. Predicting the eventual winner is far from easy, as shown by the odds on Belgian sports betting sites.

At Golden Vegas, we have our favourite. Our memories of Roland Garros are a reminder of just how talented Coco Gauff really is.

Against Hailey Baptiste, the American will mainly have to avoid a trap that tennis betting markets consider almost non-existent. A win would only multiply your stake by 1.06, which is not the most attractive option.
