I am not a massive follower of tennis and have not had a major bet on a Grand Slam since Sam Stosur lost in the French Open. That said: I have been watching a fair bit of tennis of late and have come up with these bets for first major of the year:
 
 
 Women’s Champion: Petra Kvitova
 
 I can’t see Serena Williams winning on current form and that makes this a pretty wide open field. Kvitova gets my cash off the back of a slashing Sydney International win. $10 on offer looks good value to me.
 
 Men’s Champion: Any player other than the “big four”
 
 $4.50 is on offer if you don’t think Djokovic, Federer, Murray or Nadal can win this tournament. Murray and Nadal look out of form. I am not sure Federer has another major in him and Djokovic is just too short at $1.90. Last year was a year replete with major winners outside the “big four” and I am happy to follow that trend again here.
 
 As always:
 
 1. Please gamble responsibly.
 2. Whilst all care is taken with these tips no responsibility vests for losses incurred.
 
 Good luck and enjoy the tennis!
