How do Tennis Odds Work?
At BoyleSports, we display all our tennis betting odds as fractional odds.
Fractional tennis betting odds represent the implied probability of an outcome happening, as well as the potential return on a bet. For example, odds of 3/1 mean that there is an implied probability of 25% - a one in four chance of the outcome occurring. It also means that you would claim 3x your original stake on a successful bet. If you bet £10 with odds of 3/1, it would return £30. You also get your original stake back for a total of £40.
The table below helps you understand fractional odds and their potential returns:

Not only do odds help you understand your returns, but they also guide you on the probability of your bet coming in. A tennis player with odds of 1/3 would be considered the favourite, while a player with odds of 5/1 would usually be an underdog.
Understanding odds is the first step to making informed betting decisions.
Tennis Betting Markets & Odds
When betting on tennis there are two main categories to choose from:
Outright Betting
Outright tennis betting involves betting on the outright winner of a tennis tournament, say Carlos Alcaraz to win the men’s singles title at Wimbledon. Within outright betting, you can place two different bets:
On the nose: A single bet on a player to win
Each way: Two separate bets. One on the player to win and one on them to reach the final.
Match Betting
With match betting markets, you’ll find a range of bets focused on each tennis match. They include:
Match Winner: The simplest bet – who will win the match.
Set Betting / Correct Score: Predict the exact final score in sets (for example, 2-1).
Handicap Betting: A player is given a theoretical advantage or disadvantage in games or sets to even the odds.
Total Games (Over/Under): Bet on whether the total number of games in a match will be over or under a specified figure.
First Set Winner: Bet on who will win the opening set.
Tie-Break in Match: A simple Yes/No bet on whether a tie-break will occur.
Both Players to Win a Set: A Yes/No bet on whether each player will secure at least one set.
Player to Win/Lose First Set and Win Match: A combination bet on the outcome of the first set and the overall match.
Top Tennis Tournaments and Competitions to Bet On
The tennis season can be gruelling, with tournaments happening almost every week on the ATP (men’s) and WTA (women’s) tours. As a truly global and year-round sport, you have tennis betting opportunities right across the year with BoyleSports.
Alongside these regular tour events are the four Grand Slams:
Wimbledon Odds & Betting
Wimbledon is the iconic grass-court Grand Slam, held at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in SW19. The famous grass courts truly put the all-round game of each player to the test, with recent success stories being Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the men’s and Iga Swiatek in the women’s.
Whether you want to back the favourite in the outright stakes or place a bet on any of our Wimbledon match betting markets throughout the tournament, head to our Wimbledon betting page. You’ll find up-to-date odds and betting markets for the world’s most famous tennis tournament.
US Open Odds & Betting
The final Grand Slam of the year takes place in New York at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre during August and September. The hard-court tournament often favours aggressive hitters and players who like to attack early in rallies.
You’ll find all your US Open tennis betting needs covered at BoyleSports. Visit our US Open tennis betting page for the latest match betting and outright tennis odds.
French Open Odds & Betting
The French Open is the second Grand Slam of the year and is the premier clay-court championship. The clay courts of Roland-Garros have been dominated by Spanish players in the men’s game, with Rafael Nadal winning 14 titles over the years and compatriot Carlos Alcaraz claiming the crown in 2024 and 2025. Iga Swiatek has dominated the women’s singles, winning four titles in five years from 2020 to 2024.
Whether you’re backing the favourite or plan to bet on a wildcard, discover all your essential French Open odds and betting markets with BoyleSports.
Australian Open Odds & Betting
The first Grand Slam of the season is held down under in Australia, at Melbourne Park in January. The hard courts have seen the dominance of Novak Djokovic down the years, but as his powers begin to wane new challengers like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are stepping up to the mark. In the women’s game, the likes of Ashleigh Barty, Aryna Sabalenka, Madison Keys and Elena Rybakina have all taken the crown in recent years.

The ATP and WTA tours offer a continuous stream of tennis tournaments and betting opportunities with 60 ATP and 50+ WTA tournaments annually. This includes the prestigious Masters 1000 events like the Madrid Open, Indian Wells, and the Monte Carlo Masters.
For each tennis tournament across the season, you’ll find the full range of betting markets at BoyleSports – from outright tournament winners to individual match odds.

Tennis Betting Tips
Keen to bet on tennis? The following tennis betting tips should help:
1. Consider the playing surface: The surface of the courts at a specific tournament can favour the playing styles of certain players. For example, grass courts like Wimbledon often ask players to dig deep into their all-round games. A serve-and-volley style often fares well, while speed around the court is essential. Hard courts, on the other hand, often favour more aggressive hitters.
2. Check player form: While the world number one might seem a safe bet, it’s always important to check for any factors that could impact performance, including recent injury records and poor form going into a tournament.
3. Analyse the head-to-head (H2H): Some players might have a stylistic advantage over others. It’s key to evaluate their career record against each other to understand any potential anomalies that run counter to world rankings and odds.
4. Know the rules for tennis betting: It’s vital to understand all eventualities when it comes to tennis betting. For example, the situation where one player can’t play the match at all. This is called a walkover, and means your bet will be void. If a player retires mid-match, usually the bet will be void if you backed that player. If you bet on the other player, your bet will usually win.

Tennis Betting FAQs
How does betting on tennis work?
Betting on tennis is straightforward. You’ll see all our tennis betting markets and odds right here on this page. This could be outright odds on the winner of a tennis tournament, or our selection of tennis match betting markets and live tennis bets. You simply select the bet you want to make, choose your stake, and add it to your betting slip. Then it’s just a case of seeing if your chosen bet comes in.
What happens if a tennis player retires during the match?
If a tennis player retires at any point during the match, all bets on that player to win will be void. If you bet on the non-retiring player, they will be deemed the winner and you win your bet.
What is the most profitable way to bet on tennis?
Often, the highest potential profits on a tennis bet come from accumulators. With an accumulator bet, you bet on the outcome of multiple tennis matches at the same time. The more matches you add to your accumulator, the longer the odds become and the higher the potential winnings. Just remember, to win with an accumulator bet all your bets need to come in. If you lose on one, you lose the whole bet.
How to analyse tennis betting?
There are a number of data points you can analyse to inform your tennis betting. This includes a player’s past form at the tournament and in their most recent matches, the head-to-head between the players, any injuries, and how the court surface affects the game of individual players.
