The tennis fever is slowly creeping back to the Americas with the BNP Paribas Open about to make a splashing return!
Known by tennis geeks as the Indian Wells Masters, this tournament is arguably one of the biggest tennis tournaments with its prestige a few notches short of the Majors. Many online betting favourites show up to play in front of packed crowds that flock to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Expect high-quality tennis from them and competitive betting odds from us that will keep you on your toes as much as an unexpected drop shot.
ATP – BNP Paribas Open
The obvious favourites to win this tournament are Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Bookies look at Djokovic more kindly as they still believe in his overwhelming talent. Murray is a close second among fans, thanks to his spectacular 2016 campaign.
If there’s anything we learned from the Australian Open, however, it’s that even the best fall down sometimes. Djokovic and Murray bowed out of the tournament earlier than what was expected of them. It is especially unsettling to place your punts on Djokovic at the moment, as the Serbian superstar has seemingly lost his form.
The current condition of the ATP’s two top players opens the field to the chasing pack. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal gave the Melbourne Park crowd a match to remember with a five-set classic which saw the Swiss emerge triumphant over his long-time rival. Both of them could be wise investments for your valuable punts.
Fans could always count on Stanislas Wawrinka, Juan Martin Del Potro and Nick Kyrgios to make deep runs in the tournaments they join. Kei Nishikori is an exciting ball of energy that easily wins crowds with his energetic play. Grigor Dimitrov is also another player to look out for after almost beating Nadal to the Australian Open final.
Besides the aforementioned players, there are a lot more that can tickle your betting bones: the power server Milos Raonic, the seasoned Marin Cilic, the French duo of Gael Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and home favourite Jack Sock have as much of a shot at the title as the others.
This tournament is important as it gives us a quick peek of what there is to come when Roland Garros comes by. California will have a smashing time once the ball gets served.
